In SK/AB/BC nobody speaks French and in BC way more people speak Mandarin.

In Ontario and AC, few Anglophones are bilingual because there is no point except in NB. That said, being officially bilingual and having a decent understanding of the language are 2 different things. The vast majority of people in Ont/AC under 40 {except new immigrants} can speak enough French to comfortably spend the weekend in Montreal or Quebec City. They may not be bilingual but neither is it a "foreign" language.
