Default Re: Language tensions mount in bilingual Finland
This reminds me a little of problems in Canada between English and French speakers. However, the French speakers in Canada aren't confined exclusively to Quebec. There are pockets in Manitoba, Northern Ontario, and also in the Maritimes (especially New Brunswick). Though there are two official languages in Canada and it may appear to be "working" from the outside, there are considerable political tensions and it can be difficult to find French service in smaller (primarily English) areas and in nongovernment places. *shrug*
