Would the Francophiles at Dal please stand up.

 

Près de la moitié de cet article est en Français. Très différent, pour nous à la Gazette. Mais en un de 36 pays officialment multilingue du monde, avec un population Français pas si petit à Halifax, pourquoi est notre journal uniquement en anglais? Seulment 59% des Canadiens parlent anglais naturalement, faible majorité. Voulez-vous écrire, ou plus important encore lire, les articles en Français publiés ici?

If none of the above made sense to you, a brief gist: This is Canada. We are a bilingual country and have a fairly decent French-speaking population here in Halifax. Shouldn’t this paper also publish articles written in French? Why or why not? What about other languages? For all those francophobes or francophiles out there, if you’ve got something to say on or en Français, you’re in the right place to discuss or submit articles.
