Canada has been officially Bilingual for quite some time. Before being officially Bilingual, the province of Québec went through a lot of hard times as a result of not being able to understand their English counterparts and their English Counterparts not being able to understand them. At one time, the road signs, Governement Documents, etc. were all in English. Also, English bosses would give instructions in English to a work force that was almost entirely French. These problems created tensions which resulted in the Quite Revolution. Because of the fact of not being able to understand each other, this created feelings of resentment which went as far as domestic terrorism in which there was bombings, hostage crisis, and even deaths.
In order to prevent tensions and possible Domestic acts of Terrorism in the USA, would it not be better to make the USA officially bilingual? Meaning that the official languages of the USA would be Spanish and English.
