The paper outlines the changing role of French in the Canadian identity from the Report of the Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism in 1967 to the present time. It is argued that the new bilingualism in English-speaking Canada, which largely consists of immersion French education, has more to do with Canada-U.S.A. relations than it has with French-English relations within Canada. For English-Canadians, French marks a boundary, in the Barthian sense, with the U.S.A. As such it tends to be viewed from outside Canada either romantically, as a colourful departure from the norm; or with hostility, as an obstacle to the aspirations of continentalism.
