This paper discusses the political, or ideological, use of official languages (English and French) data in Canada. A more pragmatic use of official languages data would enable policy actors to better address the unequal relations between English and French. Specific suggestions are made in order to move the debate in that direction.
Keywords: bilingualism, multilingualism, Canada, official languages data, national unity, linguistic diversity
