    As a monolingual I agree with making the province bilingual. We should guarantee more services and more education opportunities to more Canadians.

        In BC, Punjabi, Mandarin, and Cantonese each have roughly equal numbers to French speakers, and there are few French speaking enclaves, unlike Manitoba. If you’re in Richmond, retail signs and ads are often Chinese first, etc.

            Yes, by .25%. Mandarin is .3% less at 6.36% – splitting hairs.

            I am in favour of franco-anglo bilingualism, but would like a postcolonial and regional approach.

            I fully expect salish languages to become more popular as well in the next couple of generations.
