In Canada • 1 in 4 speak French as their native language. • It all began with the Quebec Act of 1774, when the British guaranteed that the French could keep their language, culture and religion if they did not join the American Revolution. • That is why we have French in Canada, should be renegotiate with them?

  9. How do you promote your language? • Set the goals in the founding documents. (BNA Act of 1867) • Do what is in your power to do.
