[LINK] Two links on French in Canada from the Toronto Star
- Chantal Hébert describes, from her own experience as a mother and a Canadian Francophone, the conscious planning that it take to keep the French language in good stead, whether among children or within cities.
- Rob Ferguson reports that Premier Dalton McGuinty, with a Francophone mother and French-language schooling, is the only leader of Ontario's three major political parties to speak French. The other leaders--Tim Hudak of the Progressive Conservatives and Andrea Horvath of the New Democratic Party--are trying to catch up.
