Well it's both.

Remember, there is no history of official bilingualism until the 60's/70's.

For 100 years we were doing just fine.

I can make out some words, but overall I don't understand what you wrote.

Write in English please.


No, I'm not being disingenuous.


edit: I think you're trying to say that most Canadians are NOT bilingual, but I'm not sure.

k Seph i would like to see where you got your numbers

now
directly from that statistic canada site


site here

Population by knowledge of official language, by provinces and territories (2001 Census)

Canada 29,639,030
english speaking only 20,014,645
french speaking only 3,946,525
Both English and French 5,231,575
Neither English nor French 446,290

so if you calculate the bilinguals and french only ppl
thats 9,178,100 ppl that speak french in canada
this adds up to about 30.96% of the population

almost 1/3rd

now for ontario

total = 11,285,545
english only = 9,690,745
french only = 42,305
both = 1,315,715

that's over a million ppl that speak french in ontario itself

so if 30% of canada is considered either bilingual or only french. i don't see where seph's 80% english speaking only comes from. more like 70%

i think 10% is quite a difference

puis pour une definition de ce que ce tableaux represente

Knowledge of official language: Refers to the ability to conduct a conversation in English only, in French only, in both English and French, or in neither of the official languages of Canada.


so c pas juste quelqun qui dit qui peut dire allo puis bonjour la

Yeah man, sorry, that's what I meant.

Canada is not bilingual , but it is multi language. Unlike some countries like Switzerland etc we are not considered bilingual.

Sur le meme site que toi jai fais le calcul de ceux qui parlent seulement anglais par rapport au nombre total de la population de la province.

EDIT: en faite jcrois que jme suis fourer paske ds la moyenne des % g donner autant dimportance a l'ontario qu'au nunavut donc jcrois que ca donne un résultat erroné... en tk chu poche en math
