This is good ‘what-if’.
“Thank you for your use of both official languages,” Trudeau replied in French.
“But we’re in a French province so I will answer in French,” he answered, as the woman grew visibly annoyed.
Try to imagine response if federal leader answered a franco-Ontarian in English bcs "we’re in an English province." https://t.co/94uPPkbs6S

Course, we have our own Trudeau in the race now too.
Silly Anglo. Pandering for Franco-votes is waaay more important than the likes of you.
Well … I seem to recall that the First Nations all learned FRENCH when the Continent was being overrun with French Colonialists ? So … you know … everyone HAS to respect what the First Nations do. The First Nations take precedent.
So French it is !
Even John F. Kerry speaks French ! What a marvelous man he is … so cultured … a fantastic America-hater
Yes. Thanks Coyne. We all knew he was an a**, and you helped him get elected. Feeling any remorse yet?
Just try that if you work for Government of Canada. Treasury board of Canada official language active offer.
What needs to happen then is someone who is fluent in Parisian French needs to lambaste him, and then when he responds, tell him to speak English because his backward Quebecois “French” is unintelligible. Show them all up for the backward provincial rubes that they are.
I always substitute Harper’s name whenever Trudeau does something idiotic or unethical.
How would the media and the CBC respond.
I cannot stand it when political elites roll up the sleeves on their dress shirts when speaking to the ordinary citizen as if to somehow imply a connection with those who work for a living. It is such an utterly fake gesture.
Mr. Selfie, the sleeve rolling fool is the worst PM this country has ever had.
Even more depressing is how many Canadians have been fooled into thinking that this silly road show by the Pony indicates he cares.
Wake up Canada – Mr. Trust Fund does not give one damn about you.
Turdeau’s mother is named Sinclair and his father’s mother was named Elliott. The wee laddy is a self-hating Scot. Seriously the child is a real prick.
He can’t help his roots, he is who he is and we are the people who elected him. I say “we” meaning as per our electoral system. He will remain in office long enough to do damage, it has just begun, we have two more years.
What we need to do right now is to choose a Conservative leader who can beat him and looking at the slate we have and how they’re behaving it doesn’t look too promising,they’re not running for class president. We have to listen carefully to each and every one of them, including Kevin O’Leary. At this juncture O’Leary is out saying a lot of things concerning a lot of key issues. He sure doesn’t agree with a carbon tax, that’s a big one for the economy. With that carbon tax we can’t compete with the US, we will be dead ducks.
BC: Absolutely correct. Jr would be better advised to visit Walmart and buy some short sleeve shirts. The image is about 55 years out of date, just one of his more irritating mannerisms, but not his most annoying.

oh, c’mon folks… #trudeaugetsit…
“In Dartmouth, N.S., Monday… Justin Trudeau said that because
his maternal grandfather was born in Scotland, he understands
the immigrant experience.”

So I guess this means means whenever he is anywhere in Canada outside of Quebe , New Brunswick or the territory’s he will only answer in English and ah. This is a veiled shot at Kevin O’ Leary. Of course he should be a lot more worried about the state of the economy and their epic failure to control their spending. Or the numerous ridiculous entitlements they have indulged in . Or cash for access.
Message 1: When you are in Quebec, speak French.
Message 2: Because we are located in the territory of Quebec at this time and you didn’t speak to me in French, I have no compunction in showing you disrespect.
Cripes, according to the article, the muslim woman spoke in broken English and from notes. What are the chances she understood anything that Trudeau said to her in reply?
This guy’s no shopkeeper or gas station attendant in Laval, he holds the position of Prime Minister of Canada. CANADA.
A disgraceful performance regardless of the non answers he’s been giving.
So does that mean all the people who can barely speak English at the Jasper Park gates will be gone next year because it’s Alberta and we speak English. Did the little Turd just eliminate bilingualism?
scar, an insult to little turds everywhere
It’s quite reasonable,neo,after all Indians whose great grandparents attended a Rez boarding school can claim trauma as an excuse for their crimes.
Canada is a land of magic.
kiss my a s s young twadels.
” when political elites roll up the sleeves on their dress shirts when speaking to the ordinary citizen as if to somehow imply a connection with those who work for a living”
And what the hell is that smirky finger pointing all about? Is he the host of a game show or something?
‘Abdul Mohammed come on down, you’re the next contestant The Price is Not Important’
We are a dual language nation not really bilingual, ond one language is more equal than the other.
But you did notice that there were three more pointing back at him.
Is is ALWAYS about Justin, everywhere, all the time, in all situations.
When will the MSM in this country stop hiding behind his…backside.
Worse still, the lady was complaining about the lack of services in English. And Potato Head responds in French!! There goes the anglo vote.
“There goes the anglo vote….”
Like hell. Every Liberal dickhead that I know (excuse the redundancy) will run cover for the silly little tit and pretend that this was a reasonable response.
Anglos in Quebec are disrespected by federal and provincial governments in Quebec. Since they keep voting for the Liberals no matter what, it’s there own fault.
So the retard Juthtin is a french language supremacist just like dear old Daddy… are we supposed to be surprised…? the elitist asshole is strong in the prissy little turd called Juthtin… hey, the country was imposed by his old man so I guess the simpering fool can do as he pleases… Time for another vacation for little Juthtin, he must be exhausted blathering his talking points day after day in this grotesque charade of mindless taxpayer funded PR.
I think its also important to remember that “bilingualism” (forced french) is strictly reserved for the so called English Provinces and for English institutions. Queeebec has Bill 101 and Bill 178 and those declarations over-ride Juthtins Daddys Charter and the dictates of the Supreme Court enforcers of Peeairs “Language Act” (forced french)… So Queebec is officially french, they are immune to the dictates of the imposed Trudeau Charter and Peeairs “Language Act” (forced french) and the rest Of Trudopia is officially french@English… nice racket, expensive too. I believe Peeair called it “the Just Society”… who says Peeair didn’t have a sense of humour, he was funny and malicious.
Being an annoying pedant – but technically they are in a Canadian province.
However, given the rise of identity politics one would hardly be surprised if Little Potato made a devolution of Quebec a signature policy. Because English language is a microaggression or something.
‘Course, we have our own Trudeau in the race now too.
Speak for yourself. I’m still waiting for Canada to finally produce a true Libertarian candidate (though I have to admit Bernier’s an acceptable “bridge”…).
Turd-hole is starting to look like a can-opener..
you are correct. for decades the minority language tail has been wagging the dog. I have long since ceased to care whether or not Canada as a political entity continues to exist.
My last couple of trips to Montreal, I barely even heard French spoken on the street. EVERYBODY speaks English. Even the dude in the gas station.
I would like it if we only use English in the rest of Canada and let Quebec muddle along in their inefficient, stupid gender specific language.
“But you did notice that there were three more pointing back at him.”
Actually the middle finger is pointing to the side. An odd and difficult gesture.(try it)
He must have damaged it while serving his long stint as a Frisbee instructor.
