Feckless: Paying up comes easy when it’s somebody else’s money

The Senate of Canada will not appeal a court ruling that found the upper house violated a francophone man’s language rights by utilizing English-only push-buttons on Parliament Hill drinking fountains.
 
The Federal Court last week ordered the Senate to pay former public servant Michel Thibodeau $1,500 in damages and to cover his $700 in court costs.
 
Mr. Thibodeau complained in 2016 that water fountains in the hallways of Parliament Hill’s East Block – which houses some Senate offices and committee rooms and is open for public tours during the summer – required thirsty folk to push a metal button embossed with the word “push.”
 
Some even included that instruction in braille, but none included the French word “poussez.”

  1. here’s a fool proof sol’n:
    RIP THE GAWDFORSAKEN FOUNTAINS OUT.
    there. no more language discrimination.

    1. Leave them a 5 gal bucket with a dipper or a cheap plastic garden hose. When Alberta goes UDI that is one thing that will be gone. No more French. One official language ENGLISH. What are they going to do next, Canada is officially MULTI KULT thanks to Trudeau and the Gutless Brain Dead Premiers. So now we pay for signs with 75 Languages to explain how to get a drink of water. Just remove all fountains. You don’t want to learn English too Fffing bad. Go buy a bottle of water or do without

      1. The refusal of French Canadians to accept their defeat in war and either learn English and leave the Church of Rome, or leave Canada forever and take their perverted priesthood with them—and the refusal of British North American governments to force them to choose—is the only reason we were saddled with this multiculti garbage in the first place.

        2. @A Canadian
          Will you just shut your mouth and leave this site. You are giving it a bad name.
          PS: You lost me at the RC comment. Other than that, I agree.

      2. Alberta isn’t about to “go UDI”. ffs sake quit dreaming and see the reality. Our political classes run this country and every Province for their benefit,not ours. Kenney,Moe and every other pol is doing just fine with the way things are.

        1. Well Don I guess everything has a beginning. And as long as you are comfortable in your slavery, like many others born into servitude and liking it, it will take awhile to get change. But I can’t accept defeat without even trying. I realize you have accepted defeat but many in Alberta have not. We will keep getting up and trying. Bow and tug your forelock to your Eastern Masters, accept their left overs. Go in peace.

  2. I’m pretty sure Mr. Thibodeau is a serial victim of language crimes. This isn’t the first time he’s gone to a great deal of trouble to be a victim of linguistic oppression.

  7. I remember when civil servants actually had to pass written tests to get a job.

    Now they need buttons on water fountains.

    Sounds about right…

    1. I have talked to government workers who could only pass a civil service exam if it was in Punjabi.

  9. We wouldn’t have this problem if Quebec wasn’t part of Canada. There are a lot of problems we wouldn’t have if Quebec wasn’t part of Canada.

  10. Haha…good for him. Canadians are so stupid they deserve to get taken to the cleaners like this. Keep voting in the morons.

      1. Nope…Scheer himself would have ran around putting pusse stickers on everything. Including his forehead.

  13. I SUPPORT QUEBEC INDEPENDENCE.

    The sooner the friggin better.

    Only one condition: they take Ottawa, Tranna and the Mooch-i-times with them.

  16. I drove from Toronto to Deschambault Lake, Saskatchewan. For most of my journey in Ontario the stickers on the gas pumps (describing the carbon tax) were all in French. Can I sue? And if so who?

  19. Oh poussez off! I was in the Montreal Metro last year and guess what? Tout en Francais. Notwithstanding common sense and decency they get away with this.

  21. Look; your only way out of this stupid shit is to join the United States. Get that on board and then you can move forward.

  22. Horse French talker is so stupid he can’t figure out how to use a water fountain… Imagine the level of asshole it takes to be this guy… A professional Horse French talker at the top of Peeairs hierarchical ethnic nationalist socialist one party State grifting Peeairs system. Trillions of taxpayer dollars wasted on this inherently bigoted scheme, or Queerbek will “separate”… what a joke… Constitutional bigotry.

    1. He is being an asshole. A professional whiner and the courts are stupid and leftist enough to tolerate this waste of time.

  23. I’m sure messieur Thibodeau should learn Swedish (the one codified in Finland). They tell us this magical minority language and learning it at a young age helps you learning other, Indo-European languages, such as English. This port theory is so well established and one of the purported reasons why we have to have mandatory Swedish (Finland) lessons in the school.

    After learning Swedish (Finland) he should have no trouble reading a button that says push (in Swedish (Finland) tryck [t’rük]). Problem solved. Should any difficulties arise, get rid of the text altogether. But please try the Swedish (Finland) first. It only take 9 years of you life in school to learn a language at a useful level, and that time is not away from anything (so they tell us).

    By the way, it is not yet that students in Stockholm would study Finnish (Sweden), or in future but Arabic (any country in the middle east) is very near.

  24. Oh my gracious! If they put that French word on the water fountains, I expect that the Nova Scotia “feminist” who initiated the action against Lorne Grabher’s vanity licence plate would be triggered, demanding a public inquiry, and hoping for compensation.
