Yes, Canada has two official languages: English and French. These languages have equal status and rights in all levels of government, including Parliament, federal laws, and courts.
The thing is, despite this - in Quebec, almost everyone speaks French, and about 80% ONLY speak French - not too far behind FRANCE.
In English speaking Canada, it's the reverse - and with the exception of New Brunswick - practically no one. Like, in very low single digits.
They have two languages, but apart from the official part of the government, they're pretty much two nations, with different language and culture.
I think an independent Quebec is an eventuality.
Until today - only eight countries have no official language: Australia, Eritrea, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Luxembourg, Sweden, Tuvalu and the United States.
Eritrea, I get - it has a half dozen major languages and a handful of smaller ones, with no majority.
And it's a new country comparatively.
Australia, UK, Mexico - I don't get, because almost everyone in Mexico speaks Spanish, and almost everyone in Australia and the UK speak English, but unlike the United States - the UK has a very long history of people who speak Gaelic, Welsh and Scots.
