In article <52200001@hpcnof.UUCP> lrb@hpcnof.UUCP wrote about lingual
distribution in the new world.

This prompted a memory of a conversation which I had had with a Canadian on
a ferry, and I would be grateful if someone could confirm/deny his assertion:

	``The French-Canadians are the Fifth language group in Canada, after
	English, Ukranian, German and Norwegian.''
	
	- My ordering here is probably wrong.

I ask this out of a desire to know, I have NO interest in Canadian Politics,
or whether French should be the primary language in Ottowa (or any of the
others for that matter) so no flames please.
