Language and nationalism almost always go hand in hand. Even in societies like Canada where immigration makes up a large chunk of the population, the language question is part of the political landscape. Dr. Erwin Warkentin and I explore the question of language and what it means for citizenship. Do you need to know the language of the place you live in fluently to be accepted? What does it mean to be an eternal outsider? Why is language such a dividing force and how can we make it a force to unify our societies? These are all questions in this episode.
