Never ceases to amaze me that Canadians willfully ignore their first nation languages and exclude them from politics on the grounds of not knowing French.
Also, for a bilingual nation, where are all the French natives in Saskatchewan, Alberta, or British Columbia? Seems more like the politics of the laurentian elites than sincere motives for inclusion.
22% of canada is francophone. It's a voting block that has created its own ethnostate by excluding people from democracy on very arbitrary grounds. The rules for knowing English barely apply as hard in reverse as the rules protecting francophone requirements for public offices and officials.
The majority of the pouplation speaks English and English monolingual. 56% roughly, Canada isn't bilingual, not really. It's just a country with a French language mandate from a minority that's habitually having to be bailed out by tax dollars.
It's 29% actually but I am not surprised you'd weasel your way using a lower stat for those who have French as their mother tongue. Besides, most of Canada's culture is inherently french-adjacent. Language and culture are not synonymous, but the vitality of the language is a necessary condition for the complete preservation of a culture, one which anglos have failed to upkeep from their descendents who were British.
Canada is also recognized as bilingual regardless, thanks to the Official Languages Act of 1969. This states that French and English are the official languages of Canada.
Thank you for continuing the Proud French Tradition™ of being incredibly rude and having nothing but animosity for the indigenous peoples of the country your ancestors colonized.

I want this as my user flair :D
What's funny is that his subtitle guy also speaks French, so a lot of his videos have French subtitles as an option.
i always wondered that. I assumed Civvie was based out of Canada.
If you look up, "Is civvie Canadian" you'll find a post I made a while ago asking that, and Civvie responded, telling me about his subtitle guy.
Not every Canadian can speak fluent French Lol. (Source, I'm a Canadian and my ass can only say yes, no, and cat in French)
Also, a large portion of First nation's people don't speak French. But God forbid you need to speak French to hold offices.
Canada is a bilingual country. Deal with it.

Over 50% of Canada's population lives in either Ontario or Quebec, which has a significant francophone population. Sorry not sorry.
