I dont see why they shouldnt all be bilingual.

Why not.. as long as we stop at the 2 official languages and don't pander to every voter block we can find.
Guy_Fawkes @ Tue Jun 16, 2009 5:59 pm
I dont know, Im sure BC would benefit if they have, English, French, Mandarin and Cantonese.

Yes absolutely, there are two official languages in this country English and French and every provinces services should be in both~

That's the VERY first thing that came to my mind as well.
We do NOT need them in Punjabi, Mandarin, Hindu or any other "non-official" Canadian language because some of our "poor citizens" still haven't learned to speak even ONE of our languages.

I want ALL Canadian provincial AND federal websites in Dutch. [/sarcasm]
Yes, I think all federal and provincial websites should be provided in both languages.

Yes but preferably English and French not English and Mandarin.

I just think it would be nice, its not needed at all really.

My local government website has two languages, English and Rubbish.

IMO, if the country is bilingual then all government public sources of information, at all levels, should be bilingual.
Whether or not the country should be bilingual is another debate.
ASLplease @ Wed Oct 21, 2009 12:15 pm
Are we talking 'bilingual' or are we talking french?
because I'd have to guess that in BC and Alberta, french is not the second most common language.

I think it should be if there is at least 10% spoken by the population is should be supported by the province.
