Perhaps because Canada was disputed territory between England and France, but BOTH languages are spoken in Canada. However, the French-speaking part has begun making noises about seceding from the primarily ENGLISH-speaking part.
Never said it was RECENT, just said they were making noises about it...
LOL this is nothing new and definitely not recent and has been ongoing as long as I can recall and the numbers that want to seperate even in ther french speaking areas are the minority, The vast majority of the people thier realize the cannot afford to seperate, heck most of the big business in Montreal and Quebec are mostly owned by the US it would be suicide for them to seperate, as many of the corporation would pull out.

but Canada objects to Americans coming LEGALLY into Canada and BUYING--not stealing--medicines! who owns the big damn drug companies here in Canada????? they are branches of US companies so who do you think is really trying to put a stop to????? the same companies that are preventing US citizens from buying their dog medications in Australia at a reduced cost , so you need to start getting your facts straight
No, I had already pegged it as puppetry by the American drug companies, especially once the rumors started flying that drugs from Canada were somehow less safe than the American versions. If they WERE, then Canadians would start dying left, right, and center, and their whole NATION would either stop buying from American drug-companies, or sue us...Come to think of it, probably BOTH!
A guess what???? Canada also gets its share of illegal immigrants as well , we just don't go around blaming all our economic woes on them. Personally I would much rather see greater imigration here into Canada double or even tripled the current rate, we are in desperate need of skilled trades, doctors and more tax payers to support our tax infrastructure, we currently so not have enough younger people here to support the baby boomers that will be retiring , the doctor shortage here is so bad that some people are having to wait 3 plus years just to get family doctor, I am forced to wait 3 months for what is supposed to be emergency surgery, one thing I have admired about many of the immigrants that I see is their willingness to work together as a family unit , most are taking low paying jobs but sons, daughters, mother and father all tend to have jobs and all contribute to the household, once one is paid for they buy another, rarely are they going into huge debts or bankruptcy, they are taxpapers assets to the community often more so than many of the young Canadian who are too spoilt to work at lower paying job or rack up debts wanting every thing right away even though they cannot afford, that they will never pay off. , I lived amongst them as a struggling single mom, they were my neighbours, my child sitters , yes they got handouts to start off but they also become tax payers and put many of the lazy welfare Canadian to shame but then those are the ones that complained the loudest but I sure did not see them going out in the middle of the night picking dew worms, or doing child care inorder to make themselves self sufficient or trying to ensure their kids got college or university educations so as not to be a drain on the system, maybe my own fall into poverty in my 20's was a good thing it opened my eyes and helped prevent me becoming a cynical bigot, even though I doubt I would have become but it gave me first hand views to appreciate them, why do some change and become hostile and bitter ??? because often daily they are confronted by bigotry and it wears them down when it continues long enough
Hmm, have your invaders wanted to change your official language to Spanish? I agree about the people buying things well beyond their means, but then, that's why ad-agencies get the big bucks and tall office-buildings! As to the "Jobs Natives Won't Do"(TM), it's only partially true: "Jobs Natives Won't Do that illegals won't do cheaper!"
Wait until some illegals start marching in your streets demanding the same rights, privileges, and wages as people who come in the RIGHT way! 
And they want to convert your country to their way of life, including their language, when yours has worked better for a couple centuries, else they would be sneaking out, not in, right?
Oh, and they want your taxes to fund their education in their language, and even in-state tuition for colleges (Even Americans from out of State, but with THE STATES don't get that particular perk!)...and since "The Jobs Natives Won't Do" barely require a brain, let alone a college degree, one can only assume they hope to usurp our higher-echelon jobs? Whatever happened to just being satisfied ripping off our welfare and medical systems?
