I feel happy to hear diversity and I think we should be proud of having other worldviews to learn from

 @9HZTMP6People’sfrom Quebec disagreed…7mos7MO

Canada is a place for Canadians what makes us unique is not how many countries have the cultural districts and restaurants in our country but our unique history and culture which no other country has. And as well as unique people which as well can only be found in large numbers and as a majority in Canada. If Canadians are not the majority there will be no such things as Canadians or a Canada.

 @9HYFRDZConservativefrom British Columbia agreed…7mos7MO

Canada is a nation made up of immigrants, people from all different backgrounds, it is a patchwork made of the entire world. I am happy to see people celebrating and keeping their culture alive, My family also immigrated to Canada, and for me it always makes me happy to hear people speak the languages of my heritage.

 @9HXL9P6Communistfrom Nova Scotia answered…7mos7MO

I feel intrigued because language is a beautiful thing, and want to learn more.

 @9J2KBRYPeople’sfrom Ontario agreed…7mos7MO

there is no harm in someone not speaking the same language as you and everyone should have the right to speak in the language they are comfortable in

 @9HXQ8NWfrom Ontario answered…7mos7MO

I don't really mind when someone is speaking a different language with their friends or family but if they are trying to talk to me in a different language or have a convosation with me in a different langauge I would try my best to communicate with them.

 @9HXNQ68New Democraticfrom Ontario answered…7mos7MO

i think that is important for the rights of everyone to be held to the same standard

 @9HXN8TZNew Democraticfrom Ontario answered…7mos7MO

I think its cool how much diversity there is, even in places where you wouldnt expect to hear other languages

 @9KQR724Conservativefrom Nova Scotia answered…5mos5MO

Doesn't bother me a whole lot...although some times it does feel a bit rude. I work in a very diverse workforce and have many cultures around me.

 @9KW5TDMfrom California disagreed…4mos4MO

Many different languages being spoken represents a safer environment as they feel more comfortable to not conform to the English speakers and feel more at home

 @9LK5KFHfrom British Columbia answered…3mos3MO

I feel joy, because I love to hear other people engaging in a language that is likely tied to a culture that is different than mine, and that connection is important, and beautiful.

 @9LNMTQPPeople’sfrom Alberta agreed…3mos3MO

different languages can make you realize English is not the first language to many, and you should always appreciate others and not discriminate or hate.

 @9JWKTTQfrom Alberta answered…5mos5MO

people can speak any languages they want to speak in public

 @9JZX3ZFLiberalfrom British Columbia agreed…5mos5MO

Everyone has different cultural elements and restricting one from expressing their cultural heritage is restricting them from their identity.

 @9RCSVDSCommunistfrom Manitoba answered…4 days4D

Having grown up in many countries where I did not speak the language, I rarely think about it. When I do, it makes me happy due to it being a clear sign of our country's vast and beautiful diversity.

 @9RCH475from British Columbia answered…4 days4D

Diversity is always a strength as it provides access to multiple perspectives that lead to unique solutions. The shared wisdom of multiple cultures also empowers us as a whole to learn from our respective histories to prevent making the same mistakes. The caveat is that we must have a growth mindset as opposed to a scarcity mindset. Everyone can succeed together.

 @9RC8G4Cfrom Nova Scotia answered…4 days4D

You should be expected to learn the primary language of the area you are attempting to integrate into.
Keep your heritage, but you need to accept that we have norms in our society you must follow.

 @98GGNXJ from Ontario answered…1wk1W

 @9R3V5W8from Ontario answered…1wk1W

I feel like I am not being included and that they may be saying stuff about me.

 @9R3GP9Mfrom Ontario answered…1wk1W

It leaves me very confused and hurt as I’m not sure what they are saying. Plus you come to this country to get a better life. English should be a priority to learn. I get it if your first language is a different country but when your in public it should be English so everyone can understand.

 @9QZXLVRfrom Newfoundland answered…1wk1W

It doesn't bother me much, but I believe it is a persons responsibiliy to learn the language of a country they are going to.

 @9QX93KGGreenfrom British Columbia answered…2wks2W

It’s interesting to me. I do enjoy hearing people speak their own language, but I struggle when I try to speak to someone with an accent, which isn’t necessarily their fault.

 @9QX3VL9from Ontario answered…2wks2W

I feel that is fine you should be able to express yourself in the country you in.

 @9QWBR4Jfrom Ontario answered…2wks2W

I don't really mind unless it's specific languages ie. Indian, Mandarin

"Hearing languages you don't understand can evoke various reactions, such as:
Curiosity: Interest in learning more about the language and culture.
Frustration: Difficulty communicating or feeling left out.

 @9QSYQCSfrom Ontario answered…3wks3W

When I hear a language I don't understand I don't care. I feel this way because whatever they're talking about in their language isn't any of my business.

 @9QSH3TL from Ontario answered…3wks3W

i don't care like say what you wanna say it doesn't matter to me. freedom of speech type shi

 @9QSG5G6Liberalfrom Alberta answered…3wks3W

I feel happy because citizens get to communicate with others in their preferred language rather than just speaking in English with others.

 @Esteban-Zamora from Ontario answered…3wks3W

I feel indifferent to the use of languages I don't understand, I think I feel this way since I grew up in a family with multiple languages being used. However, I would prefer unity in the language spoken in Canada, at least provincially.

 @9QS5M9P from Quebec answered…3wks3W

 @9QS5M9P from Quebec answered…3wks3W

Don't mind when I hear different languages. Why should I? It'd only be a concern if they were being rude about it (e.g. the foreign language speakers intentionally excluding others from the conversation because they want to gossip about others).

 @9QRM8K9from British Columbia answered…3wks3W

I mind my business because it's wonderful that Canada is a diverse nation and I see it as an asset to the country that we have so manu cultures and languages.

 @9QRCB8SLiberalfrom Ontario answered…3wks3W

When I hear another language I don't understand, my first reaction is what language this person is speaking. I think I feel this way because I'm a curious person.

 @9QQW925from Ontario answered…3wks3W

Canada is a very diverse country and different languages should be heard more often

 @9QQTDZDfrom Ontario answered…3wks3W

I feel good as it means that the speaker is preserving their culture and remembering where their from.

 @9QQQS38answered…3wks3W

I think that when Minorities come to Canada, it is important that they learn to speak english fluently as to fully integrate them into society.

 @9QQK6KFLiberalfrom Ontario answered…3wks3W

I feel intrigued to know what is being talked about. I think I feel that way because I'm naturally interested in languages, and I'm also a very curious person.

 @9QQGGYJfrom Ontario answered…3wks3W

Wait, they're not speaking English, I wish they were speaking English, then I could eavesdrop on them.

 @9QQDRCVfrom Ontario answered…3wks3W

When I hear languages I don't understand, I feel as though anyone can speak their own language as part of freedom of expression, however, I am scared that certain undesirable parts of their cultures may impact Canadian culture.

 @9QQBPKGConservativefrom Texas answered…3wks3W

Every individual should be able to speak thier own language freely but should learn how to speak English and or French for their own positive benefit

 @9QQBMRTfrom Ontario answered…3wks3W

I usually feel frustrated and confused when I hear languages I don't understand. This is because I want to understand what others are talking about while not being able to.
