2011 Census Data: Canadian Culture

Statistics Canada Dept: The final release of 2011 census data this week will offer Canadians some insight into the answer, according to CBC. In the last census, in 2006, the number of people who called French their mother tongue was almost but not quite on par with the number of people who identify other languages as their first. Growth of "other" languages Have the two forces that have defined Canadian culture for the past 40 years multiculturalism and bilingualism turned on each other? On Wednesday, Statistics Canada will publish language data showing how many people speak English, how many speak French, and how many speak a myriad of other languages a consequence of increasingly diverse immigration.
