If Canada is a bilingual country (English and French), why it is considered part of Anglo-America?

Question

It's because English is more spoken?
Otherwise, it should be considered part of both or of none.

Answer 1

Because English is what the majority speaks?

If you come here, no one outside of Ontario and Quebec speaks it. Unless they're a special case. and even within Ontario, a lot of places don't speak French.. it's really just Ottawa, and only some in Toronto... and then Quebec.

Answer 2

There is a distinction between social and personal bilingualism. Many countries, such as Belgium, India, South Africa and Switzerland which are officially multilingual, may have many monolinguals in their population. Officially monolingual countries, on the other hand, such as France can have sizable multilingual populations. And some countries have official languages but have regional and local official languages, notably China, Mexico, Russia, Spain and the UK. To mention a few: Cameroon : English & French (official) Kenya : English & Swahili (official) Uganda : English (official) + Arabic Rwanda : English, French & Kinyarwanda (official languages). Belize: English, Spanish and Mayan languages have some official usage, although the legacy of British rule emphasized English to be most commonly used. The US states of Louisiana and Maine are unofficially bilingual (de facto) in English and French. The US state of Hawaii is officially bilingual in English and Hawaiian. Three US territories are also bilingual: American Samoa (Samoan and English), Guam (English and Chamorro), and Puerto Rico (Spanish and English). One US territory is trilingual: Northern Marianas Islands (English, Chamorro, and Carolinian). In US, states with a large Hispanic immigrant population such as California, Texas, and Florida will often provide government services at the municipal level in Spanish as well as English. And so on.... L8r

Answer 3

Yes, Canada should be considered both Anglophone and Francophone. English is more commonly spoken in Canada than French, I believe.

Answer 4

French is only spoken in certain parts of Canada. Not all over.

Yes English is spoken mostly. French is spoken mostly in the Quebec region such as Montreal.
