Hot take that will piss off everyone:
If you are upset at this, imagine a scenario where a francophone CEO of Suncor (eg) gave a message of condolence to workers killed at a job site in rural Alberta solely in French. People would have hit the roof.
This is the correct decision

You want to murder 300,000 of your own people, start a three-way civil war, declare war on 9 different nations at the same time, and then install an Emperor?

@troiaas @dr3amcatcher93 Nah I think this is just before he learns medicine so not giving people cancer is a problem.

@dr3amcatcher93 did josh get depowered? I forget, but also if he had to keep his physical mutation and not even the healing that's so fucked 😭

Yeah Kev, you fucked up majorly, they ain't gonna mess with you again for a LONG time

@spikermonster Congratulations by swapping the bone structures you drew an effeminate man and a masculine woman.

@luvcaffeine @PierrePoilievre Have you considered not being a filthy heretic?

@captive_dreamer These are always BS the pool for this one is 4000 people in cities so the data is insanely skewed.

You *don’t* have to be bilingual to be a C-suite executive.
Rousseau doesn’t speak French despite having lived in Quebec for two decades, and all that is being asked of him is that he should offer condolences in the language of the bereaved.
It’s an insanely small ask
Roman Fisher@RomanFisher__
If you have to be bilingual to be considered a worthy C-suite executive in Canada, you’re going to push out many of the best candidates. Convince me I’m wrong. Quebec cannot demand concessions from Anglo Canada in perpetuity without giving something back in exchange. The asymmetry is unsustainable.

@Huff4Congress Why does Hermione look like she lives in a landfill?

@UKisnowfascist @Fenrirtheicewo1 Counterpoint, he's a piece of shit that hired an actress to play his daughter for some promotional bullshit a few years ago.
English
@Fenrirtheicewo1 There is nothing wrong with this. Its his money and he feels his child who clearly will not continue his line is not worthy of his wealth than thats his right. You're more of a bastard to think you get to decide what he does with his wealth.

Yeah, Jackie Chan is a real bastard he's got another kid he doesn't acknowledge because she's a bastard too.
Firdausee Yahaya@honeeybuch
Jackie Chan is disappointed in his own daughter.

@trademarkedash As was pointed out to you midwits multiple times Polar Bears live for years dealing with many handlers and there's already a bear present that responds to english.

teaching english to a 20yo polar bear instead of teaching 20 words of french to a human
YEGWAVE@yegwave
The Calgary Zoo brought in a French-speaking trainer to help its newest polar bear, Yelle, settle in after arriving from a Quebec zoo where he was trained entirely in French. Staff are now gradually teaching the 20-year-old bear English cues.

@Dewott1 @TheDiepod Yeah but Doom was obviously the source for the Monarch part of Genius Monarchs.
English
@Exrotes @TheDiepod The first word is entirely based on team leader (Magik's is hellbound) and the second word is based on all 3 (Wolverine might also trigger outlaw)
English
So the team names are kind of random and wrong?

@kevlap017 We don't care if you know english or not and we don't want you to care if we speak French. Too bad you can't stfu about how important your province is.
English
Gotta love how people assume the French Canadians know English by default, like we didn't have to learn it in schools over the years. Cry me a river. English education is taught from a very young age in Quebec. Why couldn't you learn French at a young age as a second language?
English
@zpaikin So you believe people should be blocked from political careers if they don't speak a second language.
English
I have learned over half a dozen languages that I “don’t need”.
It’s basic decency to learn at least a few sentences of the language of the city that has given you a home to show you appreciate your employees.
J.J. McCullough@JJ_McCullough
Everything about official bilingualism in Canada is built on myth. People can’t “just learn” a language they don’t need. Canada isn’t “built on” two equally-sized language groups. Bilingualism isn’t “necessary” to function at an elite level. It’s all just Laurentian folklore.
English
@Exrotes Richard riots. Duplessis. The Acadian expulsion. Try again.
English
incorrect--Carney literally is learning French and speaks it. regularly.
it's called Quebec fucking hates the US and CPC.
you are an awful person. francophones literally were refused jobs because of their last name. they were historically told to "speak white"--they FOUGHT for their language.
why are you such a wannabe yank with the disrespect you show Canadians? move there if you want to live somewhere where your anglo ass will be catered to
Tristin Hopper@TristinHopper
The fact that Mark Carney won Quebec despite basically not speaking French, to me, suggests that the whole thing largely functions as a power grab like all the other DEI. It's important until it isn't.
English
@sirenblep No, I'm not going to humour shitty revisionism about the french population in Canada. My family changed their last name because they lived in southern Ontario and that was literally the extent of their "suffering".
English
@Exrotes Because they were literally oppressed and discriminated against.
Do you not know any of our history or are you being willfully obtuse and ignorant?
English
@SandyofCthulhu How do you imagine they could've forced out or murdered so many people? Many people died, that's true, but the number of conquerors was much smaller than the number of locals, modern Turks are only 15% Turkish
English
It's probably true. But there were no Turks in "Turkey" until the 11th century. They murdered and forced out the folks who were there, whose ancestors presumably domesticated that dog 15,800 years ago.
Daily Turkic@DailyTurkic
All dogs are Turkish 🇹🇷 • Oxford University now says that dogs were domesticated in Türkiye 15,800 years ago.
