My experience in Montreal a few weeks ago made me start wondering if French-English bilingualism should be expanded into Canada outside Quebec. Imagine if, say, someone traveling to Calgary finds out that a quarter of the population there speaks French, and a large % of the population is bilingual. In addition to the cognitive benefits, it would really make Canada even more distinct from the US. |
I think it has less to do with biligualism (which does offer benefits) than the fact that Quebec did not go down the rabbit hole of discovery math that is messing up a generation of kids in MOC.
