Actually, the Official Languages Act only applies to the Federal Government: government is to be conducted in both languages; laws are to be enacted in both languages; the federal public service is to be bilingual in certain designated geographical areas; and a person can come before a federal court in either offical language.FalcoColumbarius wrote:Canada's bilingual, non? Hide in the bushes, like Psilosin recommends and when s/he comes again jump out with the note in your hand and tell them that you want it written in both languages, as you are Canadian and it is your inherent right under the Constitution. Have them correct the grammar while you're at it and get them to rewrite it out one hundred times after class.

Some provinces have expanded upon the OLA, but only New Brunswick is bilingual. In fact, most provinces are like America - there is no declared official language, only a language de facto, but not de jure.
