You should know how to speak English if you’re in this country
I don't like it because Canada is a British and French nation.
@9QWBR4J9mos9MO
I don't really mind unless it's specific languages ie. Indian, Mandarin
@9Q54XLF9mos9MO
I don’t particularly care if I hear a foreign language within my country’s borders, however if I start to hear more foreign languages than English or French I will become disgruntled.
@9PWFLX49mos9MO
Don't feel bad, usually just curious what language
@9LXDZSK 10mos10MO
Everyone already has the same legal rights, regardless if you're a "minority" or not. I don't care at all when I hear a language that I don't understand, just keep it out of the workplace or in public services, especially if you're in an English speaking country. This would not be controversial if you're a citizen in any other nation. You're expected to engage in a certain degree of assimilation; that is if you're accepted at all based on your ethnicity in far more radical Eastern countries. "Minority Rights" is not an issue in the West.

Sounds cool, I respect they speak their language. 😎
@9JV4T9Q1yr1Y
Does not bother me, as long as they are here in Canada legally.
@9J9SKD71yr1Y
I feel curious. I enjoy learning new languages. My favourite language that I do not understand is arabic, as it reminds me of a close friend who is Lebanese.
@9LM36BY12mos12MO
I feel the need to learn the language so that I can be included and accepted.
@9K446FR1yr1Y
Personally I don't care much when I hear languages I don't understand, to each their own and in a public setting that's not where my attention is at.
@9JTR2YS1yr1Y
i don't like when people make fun of me in a language that i do not understand but i am a minority and its weird that other minorites make me uncomfortable.
@9JV2WRX1yr1Y
I don’t mind at all, but they should also learn one or two of our official languages
