I have an unpopular view on a 100% American and Engrish-speaking Canadian site. The French need to defend their culture and language, and they need to do so militantly. Because even though they do it, it's dying out. The fact that someone named ROUSSEAU can't speak French, speaks volumes. It's a tragedy. So much is being lost in global homogenization and making everyone and everything into a brown sludge of hot dog eating Murrican-speakers.

Yea, it says: "French is a retarded useless romance language that no one does business in. Fuck, just try to say 78 in French, get fucked with that shit."

Murrican-speakers.

So, don't fly Air Canda, because they don't give a shit about running safe flights, they wank around over what language their CEO speaks.

blech.

No, it means a lack of respect for French speakers who want to keep their culture and language. Only someone who speaks only one language (and that poorly) would say that knowing other languages is useless. Then you wouldn't mistake 78 for 98.

Business? Mon ami, life is more than the almighty green. Or are you one of the people who supports open borders because "it's good for the economy"? French should be able to remain French, not become Americans, because being fat, addicted to fentanyl and having a peanut allergy is no way to go through life.

So, don't fly Air Canda,

I don't. It has no flights in Europe.

because they don't give a shit about running safe flights,

So they're like other airlines?

they wank around over what language their CEO speaks.

Like I said, it seems unimportant to you, but when your language is dying out, it is extremely important.

It's called Air CANADA not Air Quebec. Less than a quarter of Canadians speak French.

Who cares if a CEO doesn't speak this minority language? They provide service in both, so stop bitching.

It's Air Canada indeed, and French is an official language of Canada.

Is anti-French a thing in Canadian right-wing politics?

Mon ami, life is more than the almighty green.

You're losing the plot. We're talking about a CEO here. It's literally only about the green.

French should be able to remain French

It already does. Whether the CEO of an airline speaks it or not is completely and totally immaterial. If you make it a factor then, get used to speaking English, because you are doing more damage to your own language than anyone else.

Not at all. So you're fine with a Disney CEO pushing wokeness if the GREEN goes well? Come on.

This is salami-slicing, and it ends up with people being strangers in their own country.

get used to speaking English, because you are doing more damage to your own language than anyone else.

How though?

At France's current immigration rate, they won't.
