According to the 2006 census, 67% of Canadians speak English at home as their first language. Most Canadians, however, can speak English even if it is not their first language as it is so prevalent, save in the province of Quebec which wishes to retain its French heritage.

Half? I hope no one put that down for their home work. 6.8 million Canadians or 22.7% of the Canadian population are French speaking.

Actually, 6.8 million is the census number for people with their mother language listed as French. However there are many Canadians who also speak it as a second language. While I agree it's not quite half, the total number of Canadians who speak French, at least fluently, is more likely between 30-40%. Plus it is mandatory for everyone to take French until the eighth grade, so most people can, at least, speak a little.

Why do some countries do not speak the English language and just their own language?
Ask yourself why do Americans speak English and not a language of their own? Why do Mexicans speak Spanish and not a language of their own? Most countries speak the languages which is native to that area. Countries in the 'new world' like the USA, Canada, Argentina, etc. speak languages which were generally spoken by the majority of people who immigrated from elsewhere. People are proud of their language just as Americans are proud of being able to own guns and kill people, proud of their extreme religious people and proud of the fact that the USA Government murders people in the name of justice every year (also called execution). That was sarcastic I hope. The reason why so many people dont have a second language is because they are too proud and think they are too good to learn another language. That's why for example Americans dont have a second language. Because they are too lazy and they feel they dont have to.
