@JimJumJam611 @Smileyyeg Idk some kids in Quebec don’t care to remember the English they learned because they don’t plan to leave their province and know they’ll be working a job where English doesn’t matter like construction. Also like with my understanding of French it will just get worse without use.

@canucklehead_7 @Smileyyeg Of course it is but is it really the same? The country runs off of English and you can move just about anywhere and be fine. I use my Mandarin more in my life then my French. I think people should learn both but I think it is close to child abuse to not teach English.

Should every single francophone also be forced to learn English?

@Smileyyeg If your point was it pointless to learn French why did you ask the question should every francophone learn English when they already do and succeed at higher rates than anglophones. That’s a completely different argument

@canucklehead_7 Most Germans also know English. It is not out of love for us that they learn the lingua franca. Not fair to expect the reverse.

@JimJumJam611 @Smileyyeg And what percentage of people in Ontario can’t speak any French? It’s definitely higher than the number of Quebecers who don’t speak English.

@canucklehead_7 @Smileyyeg They also have the highest rate of people who don't speak English as well. I live next to Quebec and I know many people who can't even ask "where is the bathroom." In English.

@JJ_McCullough It’s not that hard to learn the level of French that carney has. So I don’t understand the argument for it being undemocratic, it also just makes sense in a country where a quarter of people speak French give or take.

At root of why I’m considered so CONTROVERSIAL to some in Canada is that I have very strong opinions on two odd Canadian issues that tend to be very triggering to some: the stupidity of Canada’s ties to the British monarchy, and the undemocratic nature of official bilingualism.

@kingruggles @manofthecreek @redeemed_zoomer @eatlivingbread So there’s like what 30-40 million “real Catholics” in the world?

@canucklehead_7 @manofthecreek @redeemed_zoomer @eatlivingbread No, 100%. The Novus Ordo isn't Catholic nor is it from the Church.

Worship without sacrifice isn’t worship at all

@gerrylynch If there was one thing Mediterranean people were knowledgeable about 2000 years ago it was pagan Saxon festivals so it makes perfect sense.

Easter is named for the Saxon goddess Eostre, whose festival the Christians took over. This was agreed the previous Sunday, and the Christians celebrated by singing psalms, which is why the Sunday before Easter is still known as Psalm Sunday. #EveryDayALearningDayOnTwitter

@manofthecreek @redeemed_zoomer @eatlivingbread Real catholics make up like 1% of the entire Catholic Church?

@redeemed_zoomer @eatlivingbread That's literally the Novus Ordo Church, not Catholic

@papistlurker @atgeo What isn’t good taste about a church being in a mall or storefront as long as there isn’t anything inside the church making a mockery? There’s a Catholic chapel in a mall near me where they say mass at least a few times a week. Inside the chapel is quite nice. Is it in bad taste?

A church as "a house of prayer in which the Eucharist is celebrated and reserved, where the faithful assemble, and where is worshipped the presence of the Son of God our Savior, offered for us on the sacrificial altar for the help and consolation of the faithful. This house ought to be in good taste and a worthy place for prayer and sacred ceremonial." (CCC 1181)

I've seen one in the wild now. The shopping mall "church"

@papistlurker @atgeo Caring about aesthetics this much is stupid. Christian’s met in caves and homes and later in basic wood structures (they still do, I guess). There’s nothing wrong with a church being in a mall or a storefront.

@atgeo Lord have mercy

@JJ_McCullough Probably somewhere in southern Ontario. Just seemed incredibly unkind and not even particularly polite. Rural Quebec was a million times kinder to me even when I struggled to speak French to order food or ask basic questions.

What part of Canada has the meanest people?

@CanadianObs They’re usually working class people who have historically liked the NDP for their support of unions/working class people in general. Some may have more socially conservative views or see the conservatives as the only other party who cares about keeping industry in Canada.

@RealAlbanianPat What goes through the mind of an NDP-Conservative swing voter?

Avi Lewis will appeal to zero NDP-Conservative swing voters and it's a good thing for the Conservatives

@NewbieSlt @McivorJaymey @marksandspencer @GBNEWS Imagine being so english centric that you think that Easter came from english speakers or even just from the germanic languages in general. It's called a derivative of pascha in greek, latin, and aramaic (language of early Christians) because of it's connection to passover.

@McivorJaymey @marksandspencer @GBNEWS Dude, Easter wasn’t even originally a Christian festival. Easter is named after Eostre, the Anglo-Saxon goddess of springtime and the dawn. Do your homework! Thanks x

Any chance I can get an Easter Egg please M&S? Will they ever learn 🙈 It’s like they do it on purpose to offend. Easter is not National Chocolate Day. Which extremists are you trying hard to not offend? @marksandspencer @GBNEWS

@malcolmert @AndyCole1984 Henrik Sedin did have his jersey retired.

@AndyCole1984 The greatest Canuck of all time probably deserves to have his jersey retired. Sorry if that’s upsetting to anyone

Drancer saying the Canucks will retire Hughes' jersey and put Petey in the Ring of Honour is making me irrationally angry

@FightForMary @Chad4328 Ok that’s cool not really a reply to what I said. There’s no issue with beautiful churches just the idea that it matters. There’s a whole lot of Catholic Churches around the world which are not ornate or beautiful but that shouldn’t matter and I assume it doesn’t to you.

@canucklehead_7 @Chad4328 We have Jesus Christ himself in the form of bread in our Tabernacle. There is not enough gold or jewels in the world to honor what He has done for us. We build these for HIM not for us.

@FightForMary @JacobA99 @Chad4328 Don’t you believe other saints have appeared posthumously?

@canucklehead_7 @JacobA99 @Chad4328 "She's just like the rest of humanity" What pride - what self love prots have 1m witnesses saw her in Egypt over 3 years. Jews, Muslims, atheists, even the government. 70k saw the Miracle of the Sun - many doubters there!

@FightForMary @Chad4328 I’m not saying it’s wrong to have beauty in churches just wrong to put it as a necessity for a church to be truly devout or properly worshipping God.

@canucklehead_7 @Chad4328 Judas felt the same way, he was upset at Mary Magdalene for wasting all that oil on Jesus's stupid feet.

@JacobA99 @Chad4328 @FightForMary How is it disrespectful to say she’s a sinner. All it is saying is she is like the rest of humanity who isn’t also God. It’s not saying she wasn’t a saint or a devout follower of God, just that like everyone else she falls short of his glory.

@Chad4328 @FightForMary There is a Davidic King enthroned at the right hand of the Father in Heaven and I implore you to better respect his queen.

@FightForMary @Chad4328 It’s sort of a weird obsessions you guys have with ornate churches when millions of the most devout Catholics today worship in churches made out of basic materials and are not particularly ornate in the global south. Having a beautiful church doesn’t make it full of pious people.

@Chad4328 You can't be serious. YOU attack Mary. YOU. From your local Dollar General

@Bad_Bad_Badger @jennfrey There became less of a cultural expectation to be church attending in Catholic majority ethnic groups.

@jennfrey So sad. Any ideas why?

What an absolute failure
