This has been on my mind lately.

With the barriers being broken down south I am wondering if we will ever break one here in Canada?

Will we see a English only or French only PM in Canada.

I don’t think race is the same barrier that language is and I am not suggesting that unilingual people in this country have faced hardship they way black people did in the United States. So I really don’t want this to go down that road.

However, do you think the Canadian political system discriminates against people who only speak one language?

I would guess that 60-70% of the country fall in this category. More?
