It is the planet's current "lingua Franca" but that is merely a temporary situation.
The Romans left a much broader linguistic legacy behind them.
I find it hilarious that people speaking English use a Latin phrase to name the French language; especially when they're referring to English itself, albeit metaphorically, as the French language. (Or vice versa
?)Quel(le?) hoot!

Like all words, in discussion "nation," "national," etc have always meant whatever the speaker intended them to mean. Unfortunately it can be unclear to the listener, exactly in what sense a word is being used. Not only that; in less-than-ethical debate the listener will often deliberately respond as if a different meaning was in play. Referring to a dictionary can be a variation on this ploy; effectively changing the subject.
Latin is only one illustration (from the latin to light up or enlighten) of the way english assimilates all languages.

Both of these statements are wrong, and the DPA has never been used in Canada. In fact that was part of Trudeau's 'justification' for asking JWR to seek advice about it.

This particular DPA is new but it is simply codifying agreements that happens in the normal course of things in Canada and everywhere else.
This particular DPA is the particular topic of this thread. It has never before been part of a Canadian LAW which is why there's a problem with any politician trying to influence its use.
