In BC, Punjabi, Mandarin, and Cantonese each have roughly equal numbers to French speakers, and there are few French speaking enclaves, unlike Manitoba. If you're in Richmond, retail signs and ads are often Chinese first, etc.
I'm intimately involved with him in the politics of our region. He's nothing but a showboater, and he actually hates his own people. Nothing but a power-grabbing career politician, the worst kind.
Every indigenous organization that I've worked with detests him, as he cannot be trusted
Here he is jabbering shit about bilingualism, meanwhile he completely ignores the actual social problems in our province

Yes, by .25%. Mandarin is .3% less at 6.36% -- splitting hairs.
I am in favour of franco-anglo bilingualism, but would like a postcolonial and regional approach.
I fully expect salish languages to become more popular as well in the next couple of generations.

We definitely need to fund more indigenous language programs.

I agree since english needs to face more competition.

As a monolingual I agree with making the province bilingual. We should guarantee more services and more education opportunities to more Canadians.

You said nothing of substance, so I'm afraid that you are in fact, just talking shit.
