Destination the great Canadian North, where Francophones are increasingly present in these sparsely populated regions.
And that can be understood, for example, in the streets and bars of Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories, the NWT, where there are 11 official languages: English, of course, French and 9 aboriginal languages.
