Switzerland has 5 such languages, if I'm not mistaken. Why a lot of Canadians even care if french is a "secondary" language or not just shows pettiness and narrow-mindedness in my opinion. A vain if not useless attempt to hold on to their french roots, not that french in any way reflects Canada any more than spanish reflects Puerto Rico. Just because you're french-speaking doesn't make you french (except maybe the self-centered attitude.. haha).
