@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 am pretty sure if you live in NDG or Westmount or West Island you could probably live completely without speaking in French.

In some hoods, you can get away without speaking English or French.

@PatrickoftheG @driusan Doesn't mean you should be proud of it while being CEO of a company that's under the Official language Act
Show threadPatrick18h ago
@stephanie @driusan Oh, I am saying you can get away with it, not that you should be proud of it. I am saying maybe you should just be ashamed of it in every way shape, form and capacity.

@PatrickoftheG @stephanie @driusan he is a CEO. He believes he can get away with everything. That's the fiber of the CEO. (see Epstein class)
