No one cares when they can barely speak English;
… it’s really quite strange that [Governor General] Simon headed to the Quebec City area last week for some public events, despite her French having apparently improved not much at all in three years — or at least, not to an extent she is willing to use it in public. (In December last year, Simon told Radio-Canada she had received 184 hours of French lessons. Over the weekend she told CTV News that she can, in fact, carry on a brief conversation in French.)
It was weirder still that Simon cancelled the remainder of her Quebec City itinerary after journalists noticed she wasn’t speaking French.
As a French-Canadian, I find Simon to be a deplorable example of wokeism and reverse-racism while wasting my tax money through outlandish spending. In other words, language is a minor point. Putting her into the job is inexcusable in the government that appointed her. Another embarassment to Canada.
She’s got the Indian card…she’s safe.
l took to high school french right away.
my grade 10 teacher and a pretty grade 13 Quebec girl Anique Dion
both complimented my pronunciation.
but l had NO NEED of it. so let it lapse.
