29、os fault.” or “I know Im late, but its not my fault; the car broke down.” It is probably not your fault，but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation，you are a loser.

42、rse, many Canadians speak another language entirely.Although the federal government theoretically guarantees bilingual services in all areas, there are many regions where English is the clear majority language so the government does not offer services in French in those regions. Canadians use the ph

43、rase where numbers justify to indicate whether a local populations language requires bilingual services from the government.While many Canadians are bilingual in English and French, Statistics.
