That link isn't really about Mennonites in Canada but rather about the backstory of Mennonites leaving Canada for Mexico and places south.
But if your point is that there's a difference between Germans and Mennonites, yes, there is. And while the language in your link is Mennonite Low German, the primary language used in church and in school is High German.
I am not even sure. I know some of them are not Mennonite so I assume it would not be that variety. I actually worked with a young lady whos step mother is German and she lived in Germany for about two years. She was fluent in German.
Netwit can probably tell you way more about the German speaking community here.

Mennonites are a quite flexible bunch when it comes to agriculture. There’s a big difference in what you can grow in the Prairie Provinces and what you can grow in tropical Latin America.

I'm not understanding your point. Agriculture isn't why they left Canada. Can you understand what they are saying on your link?

Plants are flexible too. No matter what kinds of plants they are or where they are growing they don't care who is growing them or where the growers came from.
America has a poor track record encouraging 2nd language acquisition -most of ours comes from immigration -we are a comfortable people with not so much ambition channeled into practical achievable goals -it’s more the -my passion my dream thing

If it were vital or very advantageous for Americans to acquire a second language in order to be successful internationally, you can be sure that it would be prioritized.
Actually, neither the US nor English-speaking Canada nor the UK nor any other anglophone country is really great at encouraging fluent second language acquisition, for the simple reason that this is correctly viewed as a great amount of effort for a small return. English is already the global language of technology, science, medicine, and business.
Learning a second language may be personally enriching; I believe it is, but this is not considered highly motivating by a majority of people.
