Well, if French is taught in schools like Spanish is, then oui, je parle Français.
For the most part. It depends on which one you would have gone to. Schools are done at the town level, and Provinces only give a general direction on the curriculum.
There is no national standard, or national education department.
Damn, really? They look so empty on all the town maps you've posted! I'm guessing either the population is concentrated in the major cities (Halifax, Moncton, Saint John) or many populated regions remain unincorporated?
There's a lot of populated areas that are just not incorporated. New Brunswick especially has about half the population who live in rural communities. Many of these are Acadian communities, who really don't have much of a need for a town's system of government. Much of it is provided at the county or provincial level. Or they just... make due.
(There's a reason why Acadian life expectancy rates are lower than their southern Anglo counterparts)
What are the most popular movies in this world? Anything as close to Star Wars or the MCU? Greatest classics or films never made?
putting a pin in this one, it's something I'd like to go into but I don't have any ideas right now.
Any chance you can post a wikibox about Italian-New English citizens?
How so? I am unsure of what it would have other than the info the current one has.
Just some completely out of the blue questions
What proportion of the population do Italian Lybians make up in Lybia?
What states in the USA Prohibit gay marriage and what countries across the world have legalised it?
Are we going to get a bit more information on the UK and their elections?
Whats Angela Merkel up to?
Who is the leader of the Australian Labor Party?
What was that West Floridian special election mentioned a few months ago?
And I know its a very big as but is there a possibility of a list of world leaders or anything similar to?
Just out of curiosity.
Libya: probably 15-20%
Gay marriage is fully legal across the United States. It was legalised in the 1990s.

Just realized ITTL right now I’m an American, visiting an American School I’ll be addending in the fall (and visiting my now-fiancé) and I’m staying at a hotel on the New England side of the river! That might be a small qualm I have with the ethnicity map, if Oswego is still a college town on the American side then I’d expect at least one or two neighboring towns to have an American background.
Keep in mind New England and the United States don't have open borders! The only reason there's American ancestry in New England is because it's a bunch of people who work in New York have emigrated to New England for lower taxes (that worked out
so well for them in the long run) while still being able to commute into the Tri-City Region. This is a relatively new population group and Statistics New England only begrudgingly tracks it.
As for Oswego... This is New England's major port on Lake Ontario! Sleepy college town American Oswego only has about 8 thousand people who live there. The New England side of the river is a bustling city of thirty thousand people! A couple American college kids can't really overcome that, though they will cross the border to take advantage of New England's lower drinking age. Unlike the Tri-City Region, there are no simple border crossings here. Keep in mind New England controls the canal to the Hudson! American trade never really took off in the area, it was dominated by the British. (Which is why New York never grew powerful enough to gobble everything up quicker). New York still became a major centre of population due to the railroads and the continued use of the Hudson (the British only dampened the growth, not totally stopped it).
The canal is still in use today, and it facilities Canadian trade with New England. It will first enter the port of Oswego and either continue on to Albany or be loaded onto New England's railway system from there (depends on the final destination). With Oswego also serving as the port of exit for New England goods, it maintains a strong and vibrant economy that the American side simply doesn't have. It's somewhat analogous to the Sault Ste. Marie situation (The Canadian side is bigger and more important than the American side).
