Hello, I don't have the 2001 figures at hand so I can't correct the numbers myself.

Here are the 1996 numbers:

French as mother tongue: 500 073 (the 548,940 is probably the 2001 figure of this stat.)

French as language of use(1): 311 854

Assimilation rate(2): 39 %.

This means that there are roughly 300 000 Francophones in Ontario.

(1) = Language most often spoken at home.

(2) = Assimilation rate is calculated as the percentage of people no longer using French at home compared to the number of native French speakers.

Language

Franco-Ontarians who include English words in their everyday vocabulary aren't really doing so because of influence, they just don't know better. It is in Northern Ontario where people will talk like that yet it is in Northern Ontario where there is the most Francophones who can't speak English. Heck, Northern-Ontarian Francophones say Ottawa-Region Francophones (who pretty much all know how to speak English) talk like French Frenchmen! Many Franco-Ontarians will use English words because they don't know what the French word is. I once saw a documentary where a guy was saying "Comment s'qu'on dit ca 'windshield' en Anglais?" —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.51.229.129 (talk) 00:03, 22 May 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Yup, my cousins in Kapuskasing would say I talk like a Frenchman. One also asked me what was the english word for "safety pin"! --Dandin1 02:25, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sure some Francophones use English words for this simple reason. But it is not the case for most. Code-switching is usually the reason IMHO. They live in a Anglo society. This is a normal phenomenon.--Wjserson (talk) 19:50, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What documentary was that? I will watch it. KennedyBros —Preceding undated comment added 17:31, 27 March 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Un truck is not unique to Ontario.

University de Hearst is a completely french university. The education section should reflect this. website

It is completely French, but it's a federated school of Laurentian University, not a university in its own right. Bearcat 03:36, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just because Embrun isn't incorporated, that doesn't mean that the town doesn't exist

Just because Embrun is part of Russell Township, that doesn't mean that Embrun doesn't exist. Some people (I'm not making accusations, although as I've discussed this with you before, you know who you are) always seem to think that a town has to be incorporated to exist. Embrun has a population of 6,770 (2001 census figures, source at Embrun, Ontario article) and it is a major Franco-Ontarian cultural hub and is one of the four major Franco-Ontarian small communities in the East (the others being Rockland, Hawkesbury and Cumberland). To leave Embrun out is quite harsh. --FreshFruitsRule 16:54, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody thinks a community has to be incorporated to exist; a community does, however, have to be incorporated to be a town or a city. If it's not incorporated, it's a community. You'd get a lot farther if you weren't so persistently misrepresenting or misunderstanding what's being said to you — nobody ever said that unincorporated communities don't even exist, just that they're not municipalities.

Assessment

I have assessed this as a B, although it desperately needs more references and inline citations, and of low importance, as it is a highly specific topic within Canada. Cheers, CP 03:31, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

peut aussi écrire qu'on a des expressions pareille comme les acadiens comme exemple "itou" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.51.140.80 (talk) 13:16, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
