Ok, I mistyped, it's three hundred million. Don't know where that thousand came from. :)
Looks like if I want to learn French, I'll be able to speak it in:
-France
-A few place in Canada that also speak English
-France's colonies in Africa
-A tiny country in South America most people can't name by looking at this picture
I rest my case. French canadians are pretentious about the significance of the french language. They don't want to admit it's a niche language and they want to waste people's time learning it in schools because they had to waste their time learning it. They don't want to admit it was and still is a waste of time and energy for those who are not predominantly interested in specifically French/French canadian culture.

It's ok, you don't have to learn French, nobody's forcing you.
It's not about me, try not to project your own selfishness onto everyone else.
There are students in Canada wasting their time learning french because "French canadians are pretentious about the significance of the french language. They don’t want to admit it’s a niche language and they want to waste people’s time learning it in schools because they had to waste their time learning it. They don’t want to admit it was and still is a waste of time and energy for those who are not predominantly interested in specifically French/French canadian culture."
It's an official language of their country, why wouldn't they learn it?
It's as stupid as saying one shouldn't learn English because it'll be displaced by Chinese or hindi anyway.

I guess I can just keep repeating this. No, it's not the same as learning English.
Ok.
