I Been on here as a guest for a bit now and have decided to comment on some miss information about french in canada.
I am english and have lived in canada all my life. next with all your information on how french is ruining canadian society there is something you should realize:
first- "the national anthem was first written in 1880 by Calixa Lavallée a well known french composer and was made for "Congrès national des Canadiens-Français" the lyrics were written by Sir Adolphe-Basile Routhier in french. The first english version or in this case the ****ized version didn't come until 1901 and was revised again in english in 1908 and has been changed in english through the years further ****izing it. "
second - "Canada was first colonized by the french and was called new france in Nova Scotia at port royal."
Thirdly - " the english speaking language is only spoken by 59.3% of all canadians followed by french at 23.2 and other at 17.5 not a very big majority if you ask me."
and another bit of information you should find interesting
1867 Section 133 of the British North American Act (now the Constitution Act) permits the use of either English or French in the debates of Parliament as well as in the proceedings before the federal courts. This section also provides that both languages must be used in the records and journals of Parliament, and that its laws must be enacted and published in both languages.
Just an FYI of some of the facts
I made a new thread of this because the french situation has nothing to do with the current illegal immigrant situation in the United States
