I believe that if you go national in Canada you will be expected to provide a French translation of your site. That was the first I'd heard about Ottawa being interested in the ratio of cultural content outside of radio & TV programming, but it's not that far of a stretch. However, I'd opine that it's not that much different from (eventually?) offering Spanish or other significant immigrant/minority languages on a site in the US. You may not be under any legal obligation to do so, but it would certainly make sense if you're trying to expand into different demographics.
