Yes, it is still a country but there is a strong division between the English and the French Separatists. Quebec has been fighting for sovereignty forever and it has wants independance from the Canadian government. It is not pretty. There are sign wars all the time. They go to court over which language should be on top, etc. Both sides of the argument are very passsionate about it and rightfully so.
Think about it. We now have a large migration of illegal(yes, they are breaking our laws) hispanic/latino immigrants and we're considering an official language. Hmmm. What if in 10 years there's an influx of migration from China? Will we make chinese/mandarin the official language? Maybe english and spanish and chinese could all be the official languages. You have to draw the line with a single language "if" you are going to have any "official" language. Having more than one legally binding official language divides a country. Especially in a country where 2 cultures are so passionate about their sovereignty. The past relations between USA and Mexico has been most unamicable. We have seen what happens when a foreign culture comes to America and refuses to assimilate. How about "A Day without aan Immigrant"? Illegal immigrants basically threatened all of America by saying we won't go to work if you don't give us amnesty. Imagine if these people were given complete amnesty? They would want sovereignty within a decade and continuously threaten the rest of the the citizens with strikes and walkouts. If we can't deal with the numbers now dealing with them later will be impossible. This is the future I see for Amnesty and not having an official language. Call me a racist if you like. You have a right to your own opinion, as I do mine. The reason the issue with latino immigrants is so intense is because of the numbers. It is not balanced nor fair to persons from other nations trying to immigrate legally.
I am proud to be a legal immigrant. Thank you.
