Pretty sure a lot of Europe is. So many different interconnected countries means that a great many citizens are bilingual, trilingual, or more. French, English, German, Dutch, Polish, Czech, Italian, Spanish, Hungarian, Ukrainian, Danish, Finnish, etc.And I can guarantee that the house I grew up in is fully bilingual.
Naw, Ive been to Europe and you'll always run into people that don't speak what you need them to. While in France there's lots of English and German but not everyone, my point is no where on earth is a secondary language 100% accepted/known.

I guess it is a little difficult for me to make assertions, being bilingual and having a smattering of a few other languages; never had much trouble communicating across the globe.Except China and Taiwan. Never got the hang of Mandarin.
I have a good understanding of French but I cant imagine how anyone could get by without it in some places, and it would probably be the same for English. No place is 100% bilingual.

I think one could handle NB.Without a bit of English? Montreal(possibly the most diverse city in Canada) is a pretty good example, there are times when English is fine but every once in a while you come across someone who doesn't speak the language, good luck trying to order a specific meal or ask for directions. I just don't see how it could be fine, even if the province has like a 90% French competency rate.

New Brunswick and Nova Scotia would be liveable, too. They have significant French communities, and are largely bilingual.Good number of Quebecers in Edmonton too, to my surprise.
To be able to live in those places without knowing a bit of English? I severely doubt it.

Here's another one: Sweden, Denmark and Norway has a higher English speaking population than Canada.1. All three of those countries are hundred if not thousands of years older than Canada
2. Our population is only around 35 million, we roughly have about the same population as the state of New York.
A lot of countries have a higher English speaking population.
edit: just looked it up, Canada has around 28.5 million English speaking citizens while the English speaking populations of Denmark(4.7m) Norway(4.5m) and Sweden(8.2m) only come up to 15.4m. Even combined that's not even close. Did you mean percent?
source: Wiki
A lot of misconception about Canada(or misconceptions in general).

I thought Winnie the Pooh was originally Edward Bear or something like that.Seems the author's son renamed the bear pooh after the Canadian bear(winnie) at the London zoo.

8. Not really true. We burned down parliament and then raided Ottawa. Then the English Canadian units burn down the white house. There was win or lost in either case. Canada played little in both wars except a fort and entry point. Most of the soldiers weren't canadain. They were British army regulars and a few miltia/indains/escaped blacks.The rest maybe true. English is a germanic language of Saxon. Colour is just plain weird.
War of 1812: when America declared war against the British in an attempt to annex British territories in modern day Canada.
That was the battle of york(not our capital), it was a "small provincial" parliament building(a library was also burned down). Not sure where the stuff came about Ottawa being raided. As stated above British soldiers ended up burning down your white house near the end of the war(which neither side saw a way to decisively win anymore). Final point, a lot of the British soldiers making up a large part of their forces were native Canadian.
So it is in fact true.
p.s. English is an amalgamation of multiple languages based on Saxon, and the English(and the rest of English speaking countries) decided to go with colour, why change it?

you know, now that i reread it i noticed how i could've taken this conversation to 'what do you feel like then?' and 'fuck the small details, how's life man?' with 'why did you get so drunk that you coughed up blood' and 'lately i've got the impression you mostly post when you're drinking' to 'do you even care that i'm russian' and 'it was nice talking to you man'but instead i fucked up. can we start over?
I don't really care that much so no need. Most of the time I point shit like that out for fun and I'm rarely ever negatively affected.
