32) Create a national language program with the goal of adding 100,000-300,000 new farsi speakers in canada through immersion programs, exchange programs, (within canada/ideally within provinces), official education support ie classes in highschool/elementary school/university and generally: make it a national priority to expand the canadian language skill with farsi at the national level.
There's about 250,000 farsi speakers in canada already: you could pair each of them with a monolingual person (ie from the prairies). Maybe state-assigned-farsi-gf goes too far but just saying: there's plenty of young farsi women and young monolingual english saskatchewan farmboys/alberta oil workers who could be learning a language, and vice versa. Something like an english-farsi katimavik-like program maybe. All voluntary of course.
