I would love to see stats on what percentage of Canadians actually speak French. I bet its about the same as people that speak Punjabi..

Fail. The information is really easy to find.

An entire province of people speaks French, with very large parts of other provinces that speak French as a highly visible portion of society.

The Punjabi population is limited to a few urban centers.

http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-re...&SC=1&S=99&O=A

By most spoken language:
Number of people in census: ~31.2M
Number of people identifying English: ~20.6M
Number of people identifying French: ~6.6M
Number of people identifying "non official language": ~3.4M
the balance is for mixed languages.

"non official language" would include any flavour of Chinese, Punjabi, Hindi, Farsi, Italian, German...

Does anybody know where we can stream the olympics?

I want to watch Wotherspoon in the long track speed skating later today but I'm stuck at work until 6.

Go to CTV.ca and on the side you can stream everything. They have a feed of Sportsnet TSN and CTV all in Live HD. Quality's pretty awesome too.

nahhhh
cold or not, so are the other goalies going in, Kipper, Miller and somewhat Nabokov have been only so so as well. The best goalie going in would be the BACKUPS..Nittymaki, Halak, at times Backstrom

you tell me last nite Getzlaf was cold?

The russians have 9 KHLers who are in it for political reasons to show the world the KHL is better than the NHL, now with the exception of Radulov, imagine the outcome when we kno that those KHL players cannot adapt to the NHL rules.

The slovaks must be so happy with Halak playing so well. but even so, USA are the underdogs

RRxtar 02-15-2010 03:24 PM

wescott deserved that win. he came from way back to pass robertson. good race

Harvey Specter 02-15-2010 03:26 PM

Getzlaf had 4 points, yes it was vs. the Oilers but still he looked pretty good.

And I think Kipper is the hottest goalie going in.

:confused:


Leave the lower mainland and then lay down that percentage again.

Besides, respect the heritage. If not for the French we wouldn't be the country we are today.

not trying to be a sore loser, but the USA should have 2 fewer medals since the koreans TK themselves.
