Why does Canada have two different languages?

Answer 1

In a nutshell (and if we completely discount the native population), the original colonization of the area that would later become Canada was by both French and English settlers. When Canada was confederated, both languages were granted official status.

Answer 2

Because they decided the 2 official languages of Canada were English and French because Canada ended up getting so many immigrants that only 10% spoke Canadian.

Answer 3

Many countries have two or more languages, in fact it is very rare to find a country with only one official or recognised language.

The two main ones are French and English.

Answer 4

Yes, English, which is spoken in most of the provinces as the primary language, and French which is spoke in Quebec as the primary language.

Answer 5

Because Canada was colonized by both the French and the English.
