“Dalla Padella into the Fire” is bilingual like its predecessors, “Dialogues from/dal Ghetto” and “The Dice that are Hidden”. It is about how the author continues to live at St. Marguerite Manor in Calgary, and how the experience affects him mentally, physically and emotionally. English and the Italian languages are used herein liberally. It is not a direct monolingual translation of either.
A translation is understood as a version of the original. Changes in a translation are ultimately based on the politics, and the reporting methods used in Censuses.
The Census in Canada was changed in 1996. Many top-level statisticians at Statistics Canada resigned because of this change from previous censuses. Linguistic diversity is a reality in Canada where more than 200 languages were reported in the 2011 as a home language or mother tongue.
Some of the facts reported are that Tagalog, increased the most (+64%); and 80% of the population spoke an immigrant language other than English, French or Aboriginal. Canadians lived in one of the six largest census metropolitan areas. The bilingualism rate edged up from 17.4% in 2006 to 17.5% in 2011. Growth was mainly due to Quebecers. “Language is at the core of Canadian experience”
The linguistic reality of Alberta is English and a simplified version is practiced by staff whose language is often neither English nor French. French or Quebecois is spoken in Quebec and is not easy. The French as practiced in Paris is both easier to understand but legalistic in context.
French as a spoken and written language is a regained right in Canada but its stature exists only in parts of Eastern Canada, distant from the linguistic dominance of English in Quebec. Montreal is predominantly English speaking but is located in Montreal where Quebecois is practiced religiously.
The population of Canada is about 38 million. It is mostly distributed on the border with the United States and is principally on non-arable land or cultivated for only part of the year. The country is however rich in natural resources. It was best managed for years by the arctic dwellers. The work patterns in its urban dwellers are in tune with wildlife and are seasonal.
The total population of Italy at about 60 million is much higher as might be expected and still reflects its European history. The density of the population in Italy, shown in the graph, reflects its largely mountainous geography. It is on the increase due to its location and the government structure of its surrounding states. Europe is still battling over the effects of the €, Euro, its unified currency.
