Interdisciplinary. Community. Advocacy. Humor.
So we've had some interest in the Bilingual aspect of Canada and how this effects the Craft industry.
As I am no expert on the subject I am opening the floor up to comments.
To get the ball rolling, here are some ideas:
As a Canadian resident, how do you feel about the bilingual aspect of Canada? Does it effect your craft practices in any way? Have you experienced the arts in Quebec? As a non Canadian resident what’s your perception of French culture in Canada?
Personally, I never realized outside of North America, it is assumed Canadians speak both English and French fluently. But of course, this makes sense since Canada prints all signs in English and French, and French is taught in school. This is a great clip from the 1995 movie 'Canadian Bacon' directed by Michael Moore with Dan Akroyd and John Candy. It's a comedy, but this scene sums up the language laws in Canada beautifully.
I suggest fast forwarding this video 1 min to get to the good stuff
Thanks for your interest, all comment welcome,
Rickson
