Yeah I'm aware of how labour shortage can be resolved through increased immigration, especially in Alberta but theres lots of situation where bad English can lead to bad situation.
For starters, an asian guy calls 911 on his cell phone and the operator can't get much out of his bad english, he dies, whose fault is that gonna be?
An Indian guy is walking along a street, and all of sudden he witneses somebody about to get overrun by a slow moving semi-trailer truck and tries to warn the driver of the truck but the driver doesn't understand him because his english sucks.
These situation probably doesn't happen everyday but at this rate, they probably will. Look at United States, they claim that English is the primary language and yet, you got more Spanish speaking people than English in United States than there is French speaking in English Canada.
