Well this sure isn’t going to help cement the crumbling legacy of Trudeaumania. And it may very well have ended any thoughts Alexandre may have had of a political career, at least one can hope.
Be sure to read the comments, too.

Gentlemen, I don’t know what the rules are today but when I left in ’93, the glass ceiling was Warrant Officer, after that parlez vous farncais or else. Major was the highest commissioned rank before they slashed your dreams of promotion. These were air force ‘guidelines’ the career manglers used. The grunts may have been different.
Hey, Concrete..keep going… you are on a roll..
🙂
And let’s not forget that ‘bilingualism’ was implemented without parlimentary approval..right out of the Trudeau PMO it came, like a child fully developed!
“Gentlemen, I don’t know what the rules are today but when I left in ’93, the glass ceiling was Warrant Officer, after that parlez vous farncais or else.”
Texas, I’d have to say that you’re mistaken. I voluntarily released in 96 and there were plenty of mwo’s and above who were english only. I don’t know too many Cape Bretoners or Newfoundlanders who parlez la ding dong.
BTW, I was in the airforce as well.
Seeing as we’re talking Trudeau and bilingualism. In the ’70s when I lived in Ottawa and worked for the Federal Government, I did nine months of French language training, being paid full salary.
When I got back to my department, I spoke French to the Francophones and they always answered me in English. So, my foray into parlez vous francais lasted about one week.
Was there any follow up on whether I used my French or how often I used it? A questionnaire? A phone call? My boss monitoring how effective the nine month training stint had been, seeing as I’d not been at work and I’d been paid my salary for that length of time?
NO follow up. Nothing. Rien. Total waste of time and resources and the Canadian taxpayers’ hard-earned dollars.
That was Trudeupia for you.
batb:
‘rien’ ? est-ce c’est le seul mot que vous souvien de cet temps la? le seul mot??? mon dieu…. comment trajique….
seulement un mot ‘rien’. alors…..
vive turdeau !!!
LOL !!! correction: REH !!! (rire en haute)

The same Trudeaupian nonsense occurs all the time in the public education systems of this country–virtually all hijacked by vacuous lefties. These people make constant changes to curriculum and procedures but NEVER bother to do any follow-up. (Hey, they never inventory the status quo before they start messing about!) In fact, they often run rough shod over the best practices and replace them with trendy, shoddy, time wasting nonsense. It’s enough to make a grown person, who cares about our kids, cry.
In my career, best practice happened about 20 years ago when I was in a decent, non NDP-run board that actually concentrated on academic learning. My mentors were not the impostors who now run–into the ground–most ministries and boards for very BIG $$. When these impostors aren’t looking, I implement best practice. (The kids and parents are really appreciative.) When I get caught, I’m soundly whipped and am forced to implement the board’s latest, unproven drivel, which I know is NOT in the best interest of my students. Do my experience and proven track record count for anything? Not on your life. The “tolerant, diversity loving”–equity policies, don’t you know–administration insists that teachers goose step to every new fad.
Disgusting what Trudeaupian hynotizing has done to Canadian leftwing sheep: The nonsensical meanderings of a Sasha Trudeau are regularly replicated in the words of the educational establishments of this country every day of every week. And, they think they’re talking sense! Good Lord–whoops, diversity outlaws such a concept!–deliver us.
If the left likes abortions so much, they should have started with Trudeau.
B-Arf Alert: This dog has only one head; but, many tongues. B-Arffff …-
Some time ago, I requested information from all the campaigns about the candidates’ pet(s) to respond to Harper’s use of kittens on the pm.gc website. I’m happy to announce the latest installment in the Pet Project.
KYOTO’S STORY – By the Hon. Stephan Dion, MP, PC.
After the electoral defeat, we (my wife, my daughter and I) were extremely disappointed by the loss, and to boost our spirits, decided to make one of our dreams come true: to get a dog.
Concerned about what the new government would do about climate change, we decided to choose a dog from the North, a Siberian Husky, and to call him Kyoto. He was born on January 15th, 2006.

In comparison with the poverty and violence felt by children in so many parts of the world, the experience of children in Cuba is privileged. There are no children in Cuba who live in he streets, and the overwhelming percentage of students finish high school. Drug use among children and youth is almost non existant.
Attention to the needs of the children begins before they are born. Free universal health care means that their mothers receive prenatal care in community clinics. Chances are that the child will be born witha normal weight, as 92% of cuban infants are. A cuban newborn will have a life expectancy of 75 years, compared with 69 years of life in Latin America. He or she has the best chances of any child in the hemisphere to live to one year of age as the infant mortality rate is comparable only to that of Canada or United States at 8.4 deaths per 1000 live births.
Cuban children are born into households where the essentials of life are taken care of. Their parents have job security, by law they pay only 10% of their aslaries towards rent and their utilities are subsidized. There are no luxuries, no Play stations or x-boxes, but these children see a doctor at least twice a year for a mandatory check-ups, in most communities doctors make regular house calls and prevention is the focus of cuban health care. Primary schools are simple but clean and all school books are free. In middle school, the cuban child will have been exposed to art and literature. Before the ninth grade he or she will have mastered algebra and have studied biology, physics and chemistry. There is no child labour in Cuba; children cannot work until they are 17 years of age. In latin America, almost one in every 10 children works for a living before age 14.
It occurs to me that the role of a patriarch is to see to the physical and emotional well being of his children. The children of Cuba are fed, housed and educated, which is not the case of most children in our world – it might do you all some good to take a look at the plight of the majority of the worlds children.
