@Markcbqi @Smileyyeg Haha yeah ok right

@gorgoton @Smileyyeg Not a threat at all. I have no wish for it. You are doing it to yourself.

Should every single francophone also be forced to learn English?

@NeverRetreat83 @globeandmail Spoken from a true anglophone who does not even begin to understand what the problem is. You’re just proving why we have to talk about it. You’re lucky it’s not your way of life on the line.

@gorgoton @globeandmail If the CEO of Air Canada not speaking French is an issue for you then you need to have a long hard look in the mirror.

Opinion: ‘Two young men died … do not exploit this tragedy to advance political popularity. The opportunism sickens me.’ Letters to the editor for March 27 theglobeandmail.com/opinion/letter…

@CherylHoste @globeandmail That’s the primary tragedy, yes. And then it still highlighted another problem that is there everyday, that is the disrespect towards the French language and culture in this country. You probably don’t see it anyway cause you’re an anglophone with the dominant position.

@gorgoton @globeandmail No the issue was for the pilots that died. Not you, not Quebec. Only the families directly impacted. The end!

@AGeorgeMichael @globeandmail The bigger problem is not the language itself, it’s that you don’t fucking respect our culture even if it’s literally what made this country a country. We can grieve for the pilots while still highlighting the disrespect towards the French PILOT and his family + French people!

@gorgoton @globeandmail And there you have it, folks! The truth comes out. The language is the “bigger probkem”. Not the dead pilots, or the injured, or the grieving families. Thanks for clarifying your priorities.

@Markcbqi @Smileyyeg Is that a threat or?

@gorgoton @Smileyyeg Toughen up. It’s about to get worse for y’all.

@Markcbqi @Smileyyeg Do you understand how disrespectful it is toward the founding language of this country?

@Smileyyeg I prefer they isolate together with their performative language.

@Smileyyeg Lol we already are forced to learn it. We are the most bilingual population of this country.

@TylerEJohnson13 @Anthony__Koch Historically, all the things you mentionned above would not have been enough to make a country out of Canada; it would just be a couple of US' states instead, some Red and some Blue. The true difference between Canada and the US is the French culture.

I don't think it pisses everyone off, most of us just disagree. Canada is different from the US in many ways: -healthcare -gun control -justice system -electoral system -commonwealth -climate -Indigenous relations -military capacity -history of slavery Picking French, a language that most Canadians don't speak or care for, as out big differentiator is wrong.

My take that pisses everyone off: It is impossible to be a Canadian nationalist while denigrating the significance or relevance of the French language. The single greatest differentiator between Canada and the United States is the existence of Québec.

@RomanFisher__ Without giving anything in exchange? Man, this country literally exists, historically, because of the French culture. Remove it and this country is a bunch of US' states since centuries. So, is giving this country a reason to exist not enough for you?

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.

@brinkle17 @fils_de_pierre @CandiceBergen_ That's what it means, but is it actually the case in reality?

@fils_de_pierre @CandiceBergen_ Means i have the same right to hear english in quebec as a francophone to hear french outside Quebec.

Mr. Rousseau is expressing what millions of Canadians who don’t know french and have tried to learn it feel. What I am tired of is that a few elites (in Ontario primarily) get to tell the 80% of Canadians who don’t speak french fluently that we need to sit on the sidelines. It’s time for a conversation about what 2 official languages actually means. What’s transpired over the last few days is not about the communication or language but about control.

@CathyPiecat @CandiceBergen_ Poor you, can't even learn a second language🥴

It is time to abandon the The Official Languages Act. It requires that positions serving the public meet second-language proficiency standards. These requirements create a barrier for unilingual anglophones, particularly from western Canada, reducing their access to management-level positions.

@AriGoldkind Y'all anglophones just don't get it and never will.

Somebody show this idiocy to Trump. I beg of you. All Trump cared about was the loss of life and the human error that caused it. But Carney? This. Just so Canada, 2026. It's just so embarrassing. We have lost our way.

@mariedrousse @hassinhadi Il l'a eu sous promesse de participer à du mentorat et des cours de français. Visiblement, des années à faire des efforts c'est pas assez quand au fond, tu t'en fou royalement😉

@gorgoton @hassinhadi Si c’était exigé pour son poste, pourquoi a-t-il eu le poste ?

🚨 NOUVEAU Pour la première fois depuis la controverse, le PDG d’Air Canada Michael Rousseau brise le silence par communiqué après le tollé sur son incapacité à s’exprimer en français. « Je suis profondément attristé que mon incapacité à m'exprimer en français ait dévié l'attention du profond deuil des familles et de la grande résilience des employés d'Air Canada, qui font preuve d'un professionnalisme hors pair durant les événements des derniers jours. Malgré un grand nombre de leçons au fil des années, je demeure incapable de m’exprimer adéquatement en français. Je m’en excuse sincèrement et tiens à préciser que je poursuis mes efforts pour m’améliorer. »

@joshryanjames They did not argue and they were probably never speaking French together, you know why? Because this is how Canada works. French is always diminished. In a meeting of 30 francophones vs 1 anglophone, the meeting will be in english. You don't see it because you're the anglophone.

One from Quebec. One from Ontario. Died heroes together. Do you think that they argued with each other about language? Of course, they didn't. Grow up people. Stop embarrassing yourselves.

@MarcWest79 @DimitrisSoudas Well your answer to that interview represents specifically what's wrong with this country. If you can't see the problem, then you are part of it.

@DimitrisSoudas Not everyone has to pander to French Quebecors. What shame to see the left turn a tragic accident into political football. This is absolutely ridiculous and you should all be ashamed of yourselves.

En anglais comme en français. To my friends in English Canada. The case of Mr. Rousseau is not an isolated case. It’s a pattern.

@TLNewmanMTL Las time I took it back in July, the messages were bilingual. What are you talking about haha?

Everyday, on the metro in Montreal, travellers only hear warning messages in French. No one suggests it's a moral failing. No one seems concerned about the safety of those visiting from other provinces or from countries who think Canada is bilingual.

@mariedrousse @hassinhadi C'est exigé pour son poste, un moment donné tu apprends me semble??

@hassinhadi On peut-tu arrêter de harceler le monde parce qu’ils ne sont pas comme nous, esti ?

@Speedy2041 @HeyCoach88 @alvinfoo That's what I'm saying? But from the moment they saw it too close from the runway they could have tried to speed up a little just to pass over the truck, but then they would have stalled and probably killed a lot of passengers; but the pilots themselves might have survived...

@gorgoton @HeyCoach88 @alvinfoo Not a chance. It’s crazy you would even suggest that. The CCTV footage is out there. Absolutely NO WAY they could avoided it.

These Two Air Canada pilots saved so many lives with last seconds maneuvers, yet they sacrificed their lives!! True Heroes!!

@AlexEConde @HeyCoach88 @alvinfoo Well that proves the point that they succeeded. They saw the truck way before colliding with it, and when they saw it at this point they could still have tried to speed up a little and pass over the truck, but they did not.

@gorgoton @HeyCoach88 @alvinfoo The plane was going at about 40 mph (according to the report) at the end of the runway. Climb up how?
