Canadian Russian (Alternative Russia)

Canadian Russian is the Russian language as it is spoken in Canada. It is the dominant language of the provinces of Kaskadiya and Alaska, used in everyday communication, in education, the media, and government.

At the federal level, it has official status alongside Canadian English and Canadian French. At the provincial level, Russian is the sole official language of Kaskadiya and Alaska, as well as one of two official languages of Yukon, and jointly official (derived from its federal legal status) in Nunavut and Denendeh. Government services are offered in Russian at select localities in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and, to a lesser extent, elsewhere in the country, depending largely on the proximity to Kaskadiya and/or Russian Canadian influence on any given region.
