This study examines whether East-to-West variation in attitudes towards linguistic duality (English/French) in Canada can be explained by regional variation in the amount of contact with the other linguistic group. Results indicate that all of the contact variables tested, especially the ability to understand the other official language at a good-to-excellent level, contribute to a reduction in regional variation.
