Wab Kinew and Mark Carney should respond by designating French as an official language in Manitoba.
Canada is too English.
It already is though? Alongside English, but still. Manitoba is mostly Anglophone, it would be low-key ridiculous to remove it as an official language.
Now, Ontario should define English and French as official languages, as it currently has none and works in English de facto.
I’m not suggesting removing English.
Then what are you suggesting?
I’m suggesting to add French as a co-official language to Manitoba like New Brunswick and I support your idea for Ontario as there are French areas in the east. This would make learning the language easier for students.
It already is an official language
No where in this link does it say that French is an official language of Manitoba. It’s not. Manitoba often allows francophones to access government services in French but that is not the same as it being an official language
I mean the beginning.
In Manitoba, English and French have official status in the legislative and judicial spheres of government. Across Manitoba, many public services can be accessed in both official languages
Wikipedia does not say that. I will have to read the article.
Wikipedia is wrong :)
Remember in school when they told you to not use Wikipedia as a source? This is why.
The site I linked is an official Government of Manitoba website.
It wasn’t official, as per the link they posted the languages are the official languages of Canada and thus services are offered in both.
When Manitoba joined Canada it was bilingual but Ontario resettled it with Irish people to erase the French (and indigenous) with the language eventually being dropped from it’s elevated status.
Hence why it’s not official but sort of is.
