Of all the provinces of Canada, there is only ONE that is officially bilingual, and that is New Brunswick, all others are either english or french. Only at the federal level, bilingualism is official everywhere.

I expect you could get fined for that here in Alberta as well....all the grocery stores have bilingual signs etc etc....they are everywhere. I don't know if there have been fines, but, I would assume it is possible...or there wouldn't be all the bilingual signs. Even at Walmart.
My telus bill has French on the other side. Or English, depending which side you read. In Saskatchewan and every other province as well....
There are a lot of French speakers out here on the Prairies....more than you might suspect. It is their first language.
