And I thought we were bad down here by doing guides in English and Spanish, with talk of including Japanese and Chinese.

I wouldn’t expect some of those languages to be significant up there in Toronto, or is that for all of Canada?

Russel - The above list does not include French, Canada's other official language, or many of the Aboriginal languages spoken by First Nations people, which I have listed on a separate post.

Hi Jim - These translations relate to the federal election and thus, Elections Canada translates for people across Canada. Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal are well known as having a very diverse population and many languages are spoken. The City of Toronto, for example, publishes some of its documents in numerous languages as well.
