Canada is a bilingual country. Most Canadians speak only English but because Quebec is the only predominantly French speaking province in Canada, the federal government and private enterprise has to provide services in both languages.

Now you know the REAL reason for the ‘actual” creation of Canada. Because the Quebecers placed a gun on the rest of the provinces if there is no French, we split. You have no idea how many damn useless but mandatory French channels on the west coast are being offered on cable..

I understand New Brunswick is officially bilingual, French and English.

“Constitution Amendment, 1993 (New Brunswick)
Established the equality of the English-speaking and French-speaking communities in New Brunswick.”
