Blacklock’s- Feds Like $25K French Fines
Federally regulated transport employers must conduct business in French as well as English under threat of $25,000 fines, Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault said yesterday. Penalties will be initially enforced on three corporations and major airports nationwide.
“People traveling in Canada should be able to receive services in French and English anywhere, anytime,” Guilbeault said in a statement. “These draft regulations reinforce the genuine equality between these two languages.”
They were a conquored people, they should just be happy we didn’t tell them to return to thier homelands.
He should go find a really tall building to climb.
Such as the CN Tower. In reverse. Without a rope.
If a rope were attached, I wouldn’t mind.
“genuine equality” This stupid worldview will kill everything we’ve created. Watch.
Except in Quebec.
French only is fine no matter where in the country.

Are we back to this nonsense again?…..my brother was the CO of a recruiting center years ago and all of the recruiting center CO’s were summoned to a meeting at DND HQ in Ottawa….during the meeting, they were told that the examinations that were given to determine suitability for various trades in the military would be the same for English and French speakers…..BUT, the pass marks for Francophones we LOWER than for English. When asked why, the answer was simply…..”cultural differences”. What a screwed up country…..but then you know that when the motto has been for years “Canada is united by its two languages”. I have never heard such rubbish in my life.
Tabernac!
French in BC is practically non-existent. Our second language here is Chinese…third is Punjabi.
