What it all boils down to is, if Person A is fluent with one language, and Person B is fluent in another, how do you expect a proper line of communication to be established if no one can understand each other and they are but a couple hundred miles a part?

i see we have some america haters in here :squint:
seriously though : tark u realize im just messin around in here i hope. i know your canadian and all but i tried to slow it down enough
having two languages is fine and those countries you pointed out it does work. but your forgetting one thing, and i'll use your precious quebec as an example and you as the direct example. You understand both languages that are seen as the "approved" languages. you can read them, write them, and speak them. granted english is your poorer of the two, but still the point stands you understand and can use both quite proficiently.
the issue at hand about language here is that these people coming in arent taking the time to do that. they are saying fuck it and expecting everyone else to accomodate their language they are bringing in and not the language that they are coming into. they arent showing any interest in conforming to the standards that are in place, and would rather see the standards and the majority for that matter change to suit them. and that is what about the national language that is at discussion here...thats how its being destroyed

And those of you guys who are saying things like..."I dont go into another country expecting everyone to accommodate to me"...its just not a fair example. Take a look at the demographics of the United States...or even parts of it; we are made up of people who speak different languages. Its not like a Chinese family moved over here and said..."hey, I need a translator." We are talking about numbers of people that go well into the millions.
