Canada isn’t really a bilingual country except in theory or in legislation. Outside of Quebec and New Brunswick as well as some small pockets in Ontario, if you speak in French you will have a hard time getting yourself understood.英会話ならNOVAへ
Origin of English vs French tensions
In reality there is a lot of tension between French and English speakers that can still be felt today. This goes back to when the English invaded French settlers in Canada and essentially took it over in a watershed victory called The Battle of the Plains of Abraham. This anger also stems from the fact that the French people, eventually becoming a minority, had difficulty getting their voice heard and rights respected in an English-dominated Canada.英会話スクールのNOVAなら
The English aren’t the only ones who have contributed to this antagonism. French speakers (Francophones) have also stirred up similar feelings in the English residents of Quebec. They have passed language laws (i.e. Bill 101 – The English speaker (anglophones) refuse to accept it as a valid law, hence Bill 101) that to this day prevent many people from going to English school. There are also strict laws regarding signs and advertising. French must be on all public signs and must be a certain percentage larger than English. Stiff penalties are dealt out for those who refuse to put French on signs that are posted.NOVAの英会話スクールを
