Yesterday, I spoke a bit about how the government of the province of Québec - the last major political body on the continent north of Mexico - where the majority language is something other than English. They speak French there, but it seems like the prevalence of French may be slipping a bit.
Of course, many advocates of a French-speaking Québec have taken and/or support measures designed to preserve the dominance of French throughout the province. Bill 101 was probably the most famous of these, although the more recent Bill 96 has the same designs, and generated similar kinds of controversy and criticisms.
Below is a video that elaborates on this issue in Québec, which I recommend watching. Enjoy!
