No, it's not. I live here, I'm around it everyday and that's not true.

What honestly makes you think you know more then people who are actually part of whatever it is you're speaking of? How would you know Canada better then someone who lives there? How would you know cars better then a 15 year veteran mechanic? We as people don't know everything, and that's ok.

OK, how can you dispute these two facts....

1) Out of 33 million, only 9 million speak French.

2) France ceded almost all of it's colonies to the British.

Since you're such a fan of wikipedia too....

English and French are the mother tongues of 59.7% and 23.2% of the population respectively,[119] and the languages most spoken at home by 68.3% and 22.3% of the population respectively.[120] 98.5% of Canadians speak English or French (67.5% speak English only, 13.3% speak French only, and 17.7% speak both).[121] English and French Official Language Communities, defined by First Official Language Spoken, constitute 73.0% and 23.6% of the population respectively.

How can a language which only dominates 23% of people be the dominant language? Only 13% of the people here only speak French.

That's great, but I still live here and have my whole life. How can you dispute any of this?
