English is the global language of business, it has tremendous value for anyone to learn, yes we're privileged to have it be our mother tongue. English culture is also huge so they have lots of exposure to it. Even if "forced" it's a great service to the "forced" that opens up pretty much the entire world to them.

So this means that 15% speaks only French, 18% French and English, and 67% English only?

According to the 2016 census, a total of 86.2% of Canadians could conduct a conversation in English, while 29.8% could conduct a conversation in French. 18.12% can do both- 11.25% are French only & 69.54% English only.

French people's native land is France, France surrendered Quebec to the English in 1763- they've had 260+ years to move if that's they're highest priority. French language is also insanely protected in Quebec, you seem to be quite ignorant of the French language in Canada if you think it's under any real threat.

The idea that a CEO would spend 600 valuable hours he could've spent learning how to run a better airline to learn a fake & gay language- and that FUCKING FRENCH is the issue after PEOPLE DIED IN A FUCKING PLANE CRASH is completely leftist retarded bullshit. It's 2026 the translation services (even the artificial ones) in modern day are insanely good. If subtitles wasn't good enough just say "ok next time we'll have a French spokesperson repeat the CEO's message". Should have been more than enough for this non-issue.

Hardly. All it allows is for woke poison to enter our countries more easily. Just make a correlation between countries that speak English natively, better vs. worse and woke penetration.

?????

You're the last guy I want to criticize, but seriously, do you hear yourself? Guess what the native land of English people is? If this is your standard, then you are not on the right continent even.

France surrendered Quebec to the English in 1763- they've had 260+ years to move

So it's been their native land for at least 260 years then?

French language is also insanely protected in Quebec, you seem to be quite ignorant of the French language in Canada if you think it's under any real threat.

According to another guy here, less than 50% of people in Quebec even speak French? That is an extinction event. And that is a tragedy.

learn a fake & gay language

French is more real than Engrish, my friend. Also, do you know most of your vocabulary isn't English... including the word vocabulary?

and that FUCKING FRENCH is the issue after PEOPLE DIED IN A FUCKING PLANE CRASH is completely leftist retarded bullshit.

The left is BIG on protecting people on their native land.
