As a Canadian who has never lived in Quebec, I do low key have a bit of a chip on my shoulder regarding French but only because it was completely useless to me outside of French class. It was only mandatory from grade six to grade nine, after that it was optional. Unless you live in Quebec or interact with a lot of French stuff it just doesn't stick, and that sucks because knowing a second language is a very good thing!

I wish French was more useful to me but it just hasn’t been. Maybe it’s just the way it is taught too because it was only usable in that one classroom (and it also felt like a chore). Maybe the governments could've done a better job at integrating multiple languages into our lives besides translations on products.

Also, while it may be off topic, but our Indigenous languages deserve the same respect and recognition.
