La Presse

@driusan I agree with you.

However, Air Canada *is* under the Official language act and his CEO should have always been bilingual.

It's two different problems

@stephanie The ruling that the CEO doesn't have to be bilingual was not one that I agree with, but it's what the courts decided and him not being able to express condolences is the consequence. When I die I don't care if you express condolenses in English, French, Japanese, Mi'kmaq or whatever you're most comfortable in.. it's not a service, it's an expression of sympathy.

He should resign because the AC service is shit in any language.

@driusan He just sucks in general

"Air Canada CEO says he's lived in Montreal 'without speaking French' for 14 years" (That was 5 years ago)

@stephanie @driusan "I want to apply for the software engineering position. My french is so so"

"sorry. DENIED"

@stephanie @driusan just to clarify, it wasn't me.
