Languages in Conflict : Canada, 1976

An explanation of 1970s Canadian census figures specifically regarding language, birth rates, and geography. From the author: "Canada is an ideal country in which to study the progress of language transfer and other factors affecting minority survival, because the decennial census includes three questions on language and one on ethnic origin. From census data, it will be shown that two-thirds of Canada's population live in English dominated regions, within which minorities of all other languages are dwindling through assimilation, but that there is also a French Canada, within which it is the use of the English language that is declining. The two languages co-exist only within a narrow bilingual belt."
