@TukiFromKL I wish my country had so few problems that officials had to resign over things this trivial.

🚨 Do you understand why the Air Canada CEO just resigned..
he posted a condolence video.. in English only..
in Canada..
here's why that's not as simple as it sounds..
Canada has been fighting over two languages for 250 years.. the French were there first.. the British conquered them in 1763.. and for the next two centuries French Canadians watched their language, culture and identity get slowly squeezed out..
by 1969 it had gotten so bad that Trudeau Sr. had to pass the Official Languages Act.. making English and French equally official.. legally mandating bilingual communication for any federally regulated institution..
Air Canada is a federally regulated institution..
then came the 1995 Quebec independence referendum.. 50.6% voted to stay in Canada.. by 54,000 votes.. the country came within a single percentage point of splitting in half.. over language..
so when the CEO of the national airline posts a condolence video in English only.. it's not a PR mistake.. it's walking into 250 years of open wounds without looking down..
Canada almost split in half over this exact thing 30 years ago.. and the man running the national airline had absolutely no idea.

@SeeRacists The law should say you get a pass when you pull something like that.

🚨🚨 Breaking: A woman in Muskegon Heights, Michigan has gone viral after she managed to wiggle her way out of a police cruiser window while fully handcuffed and took off running down the street.
Bystander and bodycam footage shows her squeezing through the back window as officers were just steps away — she hit the ground running and disappeared before they even realized she was gone.

@RnaudBertrand When I read such an overblown analysis of a rather trivial tweet, I understand how scholars have spent 4,000 years studying the Torah and still aren't done with it.

This is such a strange post that I wonder if it doesn't carry a hidden message.
This is Japan's ambassador to France saying he's on his way to Tokyo to welcome Macron during his visit there, next to a statue of Tintin which has been his "faithful companion that's always followed me for 37 years."
But:
1) What's the link between Tintin and the topic at hand? Tintin is a Belgian comic book series about a reporter.
2) Anyone who's read Tintin knows that probably the most salient political message in the entire book series is its fierce denunciation of Japanese militarism and imperialism. The "Lotus Bleu" and "Tintin au Tibet" are essentially love letters to China and scathing indictments of Japanese aggression. Tintin is arguably the most pro-China, anti-Japan cultural artifact in all of modern European popular culture. Strange choice of "faithful companion" for Tokyo's man in Paris.
There's of course an innocent reading to this where he's just a quirky diplomat who loves Tintin and either doesn't see the political message or assumes his audience won't.
Hard to believe from someone who himself says he's been a fan of Tintin for 37 years and whose entire profession is the careful calibration of signals and symbols.
Another read is that it's a subtle warning with plausible deniability, through a cultural reference that casually looks charming but that anyone who knows the books and current context would find pointed.
The context of course being that Japan is being pulled into two simultaneous crises by its alliance with Washington - a war on Iran that's choking off its energy supply, and a confrontation with China so charged that Beijing's own embassy in Japan has taken to citing the Mukden incident of 1931 (zaobao.com.sg/realtime/china…). For those who haven't read Tintin's Lotus Bleu, that is precisely where the story begins.
