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.

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)

[edit] 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)

  • 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.
