@Coralie4955 @Martyupnorth Radio Canada and La Presse tried to avoid the subject but other media and many politicians were very critical of the nomination. It was ignored by the rest of the country who rubbed it into our nose. That was the intention from the start.

@Martyupnorth Where’s the Quebec outrage?

Canada's Governor General doesn't speak French. Neither does our Prime Minister for that matter. Where's the CBC's outrage?

Réponse de la direction de l'information de Radio-Canada , il me fait plaisir de vous transmettre la mise à jour de nos plaintes. Le reportage télévisuel a été retiré pour manque de nuances Bonjour [ ] L’ombudsman de Radio-Canada a transmis vos commentaires à la direction de l’Information. Je tiens d’abord à vous remercier de nous avoir écrit. Sachez que tous les commentaires sont lus et acheminés aux personnes concernées. Votre plainte porte notamment sur le titre d’un article publié le matin du 26 mars 2026 qui vous estimez erroné : Les athlètes transgenres de sexe féminin seront exclues des Jeux olympiques. Lors d’une deuxième communication avec l’ombudsman le 27 mars, vous notez également des informations inexactes dans le reportage diffusé le soir du 26 mars, au Téléjournal 22h. Dans le premier cas, vous aviez raison de constater que la formulation du titre de l’article ne reflétait pas la réalité et pouvait porter à confusion. Vous précisez également que les femmes transgenres, nées de sexe masculin, ne sont pas entièrement exclues des Jeux olympiques, puisqu’elles pourraient tout de même participer aux disciplines masculines, si elles se qualifient, comme le confirme le Comité International Olympique ( CIO ) : « Les athlètes dont le dépistage du gène SRY est positif, [...] continuent d’être rattachés aux catégories auxquelles ils sont admissibles. Par exemple, pour toute catégorie masculine, ou poste masculin au sein d’une équipe de catégorie mixte ; et pour toute catégorie ouverte ou tout sport ou toute épreuve ne classifiant pas les athlètes par sexe. Dans ce contexte, et comme vous l’avez constaté, nous avons corrigé le titre et le texte pour préciser que les femmes transgenres seront exclues « des épreuves féminines » aux Jeux olympiques. Les femmes transgenres seront exclues des épreuves féminines aux Jeux olympiques Vous soulignez, par ailleurs, que la boxeuse Imane Khelif n’a pas été attaquée sur son genre, mais plutôt sur son sexe biologique. Nous avons modifié le texte en ce sens. Quant à la mention du décret signé par Donald Trump, nous estimons qu’elle permet un rappel factuel et contextuel qui ne fait aucun lien avec la décision du CIO. En ce qui a trait au reportage du Téléjournal 22h, nous estimons que certaines informations manquent, en effet, de nuances. Nous avons choisi de retirer le reportage de nos réseaux sociaux, en conformité avec les Normes et pratiques journalistiques de Radio-Canada (NPJ). Encore une fois, nous vous remercions de nous avoir communiqué vos observations. En espérant que cette réponse saura vous satisfaire. Dans le cas contraire, je vous rappelle que vous pouvez soumettre votre dossier à l’ombudsman de Radio-Canada pour qu’il en fasse la révision. Le bureau de l’ombudsman est une instance indépendante se rapportant directement à la présidente-directrice générale de Radio-Canada et dont la responsabilité est de veiller à ce que les contenus d’information respectent les Normes et pratiques journalistiques en vigueur.

@ianmacgillivary @BenShapGroyp @Anthony__Koch Sure Ian, social cohesion serves no purpose.

@Infodicietdela @BenShapGroyp @Anthony__Koch Identity doesn't feed someone. Nor does it improve their material conditions. I think that's where it diverges at.

Think I’m full of it vis a vis the essential nature of French Canada in preserving Canadian distinctness from the United States? Listen to George Grant.

@Smileyyeg @acajacques They aren’t. Been there done that. They aren’t.

@acajacques Yes.

Anglophone Albertans not able to work in the civil service in their own province while Quebec has Bill 101 literally restricitng the use of their language. Fuck off actually.

@Smileyyeg @acajacques Nonsense. Practically no one in the federal civil service speaks French in Alberta. Managers are no exception.

@acajacques All high level positions are mandatory.

@Smileyyeg I worked in Alberta. No one is bilingual in the federal civil service, especially managers. Look inwards for the reasons you can’t get hired!

@BenShapGroyp @Anthony__Koch We have an identity, you don’t

@Anthony__Koch “Surviving” If we were in the US we would be richer and have much better lives than we currently have. The only reason people come to Canada these days is for money. They don’t give a shit about Canadian identity. lol if u think my identity is strengthened by a welfare prov

For sure, requiring the ability to speak the language of a quarter of your clients in order to head an organization based in Montreal is just like DEI. I like the way you think Tristan! Super sharp!

@TristinHopper For sure, requiring the ability to speak the language of a quarter of your clients in order to head an organization based in Montreal is just like DEI. I like the way you think Tristan! Super sharp!

@Infodicietdela Emotional blackmail, refusal to engage with the core issue. You're just like all the other DEI freaks, man.

Indigenous culture can be uplifted and revived without place names written in obscure script that nobody can read. The French language can thrive without airline CEOs being forced to prostrate themselves before parliamentary committees. That is, if you prefer results instead of control.

@ezralevant « Hasn’t been able to master it » Pandering Ezra…

Look at the official abuse directed at Air Canada’s CEO who has spent hundreds of hours trying to learn French but hasn’t been able to master it. This is exactly how they feel about every Albertan, by the way.

@FiftyFootNest @TristinHopper I'm with you on this one Cass. The French speaking pilot's bereaved family should be lucky they get any condolences at all, cause they clearly shouldn’t be the priority. And they can brush up on their English 'after' the funeral, right?

They're home. Seen below is Jazz Flight 7831 carrying the remains of First Officer Gunther to family in Ottawa, after first stopping in Montreal to deliver Captain Forest to his family. These men deserve so much more than our nation gave them this week. It's sickening. 😭

@patapackala @FortySacks Mining companies in Quebec are not federally regulated companies. No one would expect an Alberta based oil and gas CEO to speak French when offering condolences to a Quebec expat who died in a Fort McMurray accident.

It was not the police officer who came to inform them of the loss, it was not the mortician who safeguarded his body, it was not the priest who performed the funeral, it was not the lawyer who executed his estate. It was his boss's boss's boss's boss putting out a statement. French Canadians have a right to receive all government services in French. They do not have a right to never be addressed in English. If there were a mining accident in northern Quebec that killed several people and the CEO of the mining company made a statement in French only with English subtitles, would that really be disrespectful to the family of an Anglo victims?

The first thing I noticed about the outrage, first and foremost, is that it’s mostly old people. Old people, as in those who lived through Bill 101, the October Crisis and the Oka Crisis. Since we live in a gerontocracy, and the political class has to pretend they care about their feelings, it has been escalated to outrage on both sides. Those old people have a petty bitterness and attitude toward each other. They were raised in a more homogenous and religious society, where, in their view, the differences between Anglo and French Canadians seemed much much bigger than they actually were. The Anglos were raised on a diet of nominal Protestantism, Reform Party propaganda, fallout of the NEP, bore witness to the exodus of Anglo-Quebecers from Montreal to the rest of Canada, to US, Britain or France. On the other side, you have old French Canadians who were propagandized by subversive communists like Michelle Lalonde, Pierre Vallières, Charles Gagnon, and anti-Anglo social democrats of the Quiet Revolution, who turned real, legitimate grievances into the politics of bitterness, spite and resentment. There is an attitude of superiority and chauvinism unique to these older folk that starts in the 1910s, but is fortunately, finally dying. For young people, whose experiences in Canada are completely different than life even the 1990s, the grievance politics stemming from this petty bitterness is incredibly childish, because they have more in common with each other than the millions of inassimilable immigrants to Canada over their shorter lifetimes. Aiden and Olivier listen to the same music, watch the same shows, laugh at the same memes, wear the same clothes, have the same tattoos, use the same social media apps, play the same games, and may or may not have gone to university in each other’s provinces. It’s for this reason, you see in Canadian nationalist groups like the Dominion Society and Second Sons, publications like Without Diminishment, the PPC youth wing, all of whom skew younger, and in segments of the conservative mainstream, that they’re all in on Canada’s British-French heritage. The visceral emotions around language, Don Cherry-style French bashing, anti-Anglo revisionist history and atrocity propaganda from Le Devoir are all going to fade away in our lifetimes and I couldn’t be more excited for it.

@davidbexte I’m with you on this one. Offering condolences in English to a deceased francophone pilot’s family when you’re head of a Montreal based federally regulated industry in a bilingual country is a clear demonstration of sound judgment. Just leave the poor guy alone.

Summoning Air Canada’s CEO to parliament as part of a Liberal Party humiliation ritual does nothing to make air travel safer for Canadians. I do not support this.

@RebelNewsOnline @ezralevant I'm with you on this one. The French speaking pilot's bereaved family should be lucky they get any condolences at all, because there are other priorities, right? And they can brush up on their English 'after' the funeral, right?

Canada deserves better than politicians who confuse compassion with compliance and leadership with linguistic performance. FULL REPORT by @EzraLevant: rebelne.ws/41uy7Fr
