No!! The Constitution act of 1867 does not "make CANADA officially
bilingual".
Giving permission to allow debate in French and English in a
specific place is not making some strange language an official
language of your country. Nor did that ever happen until 1982.
Our government was never run in French and English! Not until
Trudeau made it happen for his own ethnic group in 1982.
You debate like a child!
In your last post you conceded that it was Trudeau that stabbed
Canada's majority in the back by making French (his own
language) an official language of Canada in 1982 and saddling
all 25 million of Canada's non French speaking majority with
bilingualism and a language they neither wanted or need.
(for all generations to come)
Now in this post you are again trying to suggest that the Canadian
constitution of 1867...... "makes CANADA officially bilingual". Unquote
