'Winds are changing': Quebec Premier Christine Fréchette on relationship with English community
https://youtube.com/watch?v=W3AZeYKtzI4&si=UJIW2v9tioBsEStn
Good for #ChristineFréchette; I don't think her predecessor ever came on English radio.
I do not plan to vote for the #CAQ in the next election, but #anglophones, please do not automatically vote for the Liberals. Encourage the parties to compete for your vote.
Canada is an officially bilingual nation - CEO competencies
"Air Canada has announced that its CEO Michael Rousseau will retire this year, following widespread criticism over his English-only condolence video addressing a crash that killed two of the airline's pilots this month. "
""It is essential that the next CEO of Air Canada is bilingual,” Mr Carney said."
"...When Mr Rousseau was appointed president of the airline in February 2021, he promised to learn French. In the video, posted on Air Canada's social media accounts with French subtitles, Mr Rousseau shares details of the accident, speaking only two words in French: "bonjour" and "merci". >>

If people who speak mostly (if not only) #English are #Anglophones and people who speak #French are #Francophones, then what are people who mostly speak #Spanish called?
Yeah, this is mostly BS.
The moment they lost the #QuebecReferendum in #1995, the leader of the #PartiQuebecois IMMEDIATELY blamed "money and the ethnic vote."
Modern #Quebecois are no better; see #Bill21.
They may be right about the #UCP "wanting an oil based future," (the UCP really are villains from an episode of #CaptainPlanet) but ultimately, the only difference is one group are #racist #Anglophones and the other group are racist #Francophones.
