About Canada's cultures. It seems that many people have reduced Canada's
cultures to French and English. We cannot forget our other cultures, although
they may not be as prevalent as these two. I wonder how people in places like
Belgium and Switzerland manage. If I'm not mistaken, Switzerland has 7 major
languages. I wonder if they have the same problems as Canada. I consider myself
a Canadian. French, English, whatever, doesn't really matter. As was mentioned in
an earlier article, the West was settled after all the rules were made.
The French Canadian/English Canadian thing doesn't really play a big part
out here in Manitoba.
