@Marid781 @DimitrisSoudas @CandiceBergen_ Bound by the official languages act.

@DimitrisSoudas @CandiceBergen_ No matter how many words you use to manipulate the narrative “federally regulated national insisitition” although creative doesn’t change the fact that Air Canada is a private publicly traded company.

Prime example- this is not about ensuring french speaking Canadians can hear a message in French ( AI can fix that btw ). It’s about “respect” for the language. Huh? If you don’t speak french you don’t respect the language or official bilingualism??Hogwash. This is about who is in and who is out. 80% of Canadians are out according to this thinking.

@CathyPiecat @CandiceBergen_ Language rights are enshrined in the Charter.

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.

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.

Tonight the #CNTower will be lit blue, white, red and yellow for National Acadian Day / Ce soir, la #TourCN sera illuminée en rouge, bleu, blanc, rouge et jaune pour la Fête nationale de l'Acadie

Bonne fête nationale de l'Acadie! ❤️🤍💙⭐️ La culture acadienne ne se résume pas à l’histoire de son peuple; elle fait partie intégrante de nos communautés et de nos célébrations. C’est une grande partie de ce qui rend le Nouveau-Brunswick si unique et si fort. La Fête nationale de l’Acadie est l’occasion de célébrer le riche patrimoine, la langue et les traditions du peuple acadien. Certains de mes meilleurs souvenirs remontent à des journées d’été remplies de musique, de couleurs et de rires au Festival acadien. Le son de la musique, le rythme du Tintamarre, l’odeur des plats traditionnels acadiens – la fierté était toujours au rendez-vous. Le 15 août est l’occasion de célébrer non seulement le passé, mais aussi l’avenir. L’Acadie d’aujourd’hui est dynamique et avant-gardiste, façonnée par des gens qui repoussent les limites, repensent l’identité et rayonnent bien au-delà de nos frontières. Notre gouvernement est fier d’appuyer cette culture dynamique et les personnes qui la font briller. Merci à toutes les personnes qui rendent possible la tenue des festivités de la Fête nationale de l’Acadie dans nos communautés de l’ensemble de la province – que ce soit les bénévoles en coulisses, les danseurs, les musiciens, les artistes et les familles qui se présentent avec joie et fierté. Amusez-vous, célébrez haut et fort, et prenez un moment pour vous rappeler à quel point il est spécial d’être une Acadienne ou un Acadien au Nouveau-Brunswick. --- Happy National Acadian Day! ❤️🤍💙⭐️ Acadian culture is more than history; it’s alive in our communities and celebrations. It’s a huge part of what makes New Brunswick so unique and so strong. Acadian Day is a time to celebrate the rich heritage, language and traditions of the Acadian people. Some of my best memories are from summer days filled with music, colour and laughter at the Acadian festival. Whether it was the sound of music in the air, the rhythm of the Tintamarre or the smell of traditional Acadian dishes, you could always feel the pride. August 15 is a chance to celebrate not just the past, but the future. Today’s Acadie is vibrant and forward-looking, shaped by people who are pushing boundaries, reimagining identity and shining far beyond our borders. Our government is proud to support this vibrant culture and the people who make it shine. Thank you to everyone who brings Acadian Day festivities to life in our communities throughout the province – from the volunteers behind the scenes to the dancers, musicians, artists and families who show up with joy and pride. Have fun, celebrate loudly and take a moment to savour just how special it is to be Acadian in New Brunswick.

L’Acadie célèbre aujourd’hui ce riche héritage qu’est la culture française en Amérique. À nos amis Acadiens et Acadiennes, nous partageons votre fierté! Bonne fête nationale!

Les Acadiens et les Acadiennes ont contribué à bâtir le Canada que nous connaissons et chérissons aujourd’hui. Bonne Fête nationale de l’Acadie.

En cette Fête nationale de l’Acadie, la présidente Nicole Arseneau-Sluyter, au nom de toute l’équipe de la SANB, vous adresse ses vœux les plus sincères pour la célébration de notre fête nationale. Joyeux 15 août à toutes et à tous ! 🌠⬜️🟥🎉

La Fête nationale de l’Acadie, célébrée chaque 15 août, met en lumière la fierté et la résilience du peuple acadien. Partout, on se réunit pour partager des moments festifs où l’on entend résonner le tintamarre et les airs traditionnels. Cette journée incarne un héritage vivant et rappelle l’importance de faire vivre la langue et la culture acadiennes. Joyeuse Fête nationale de l'Acadie à tous les Acadiens et Acadiennes et vive l'Acadie!

Être Acadien, ce n’est pas que célébrer. C’est aussi protéger notre langue, notre culture et notre histoire. Bonne Fête Nationale de l’Acadie ! 🟡🔵⚪️🔴

Disagree 👇: the same people that will bring you out of the deep backwards (which is most forested crown land), ground search and rescue are the same people that go door to door for fire evacuations. Scarcity of resources is a valid reason in the act to restrict access. #nbpoli

@itskrisdavis @KeldenFormosa Your analogy doesn't hold up. Hiking in the woods while some parts of the province is litteraly burning to the ground is negligent in my opinion. Driving is another ball game.

@Seb_Roy33 @KeldenFormosa Walking in the woods has a lower emergency call out rate than driving. So should we also ban "avoidable" driving? No going for anything other than essentials? This is an absurd precedent to set.

Every single defence of the Nova Scotia walking ban relies on mischaracterizing people's opposition to it. Nobody is against preventing wildfires. Everybody is OK with measures that would help with that - campfire bans, ATV restrictions, etc. But walking doesn't cause fires.

@MapleDOGEh @KeldenFormosa I completely agree with you here. Glyphosate is not good for our forests nor our populations health. Alternatives need to be employed.

@Seb_Roy33 @KeldenFormosa Spraying glyphosate over forests to ensure a “monocrop” of conifers creating a LOT of wildfire fuel in the form of dead deciduous brush is not good forest practice. I work in forestry in BC and we do the same BS here. saltwire.com/nova-scotia/st…

@DaddyBrinson @KeldenFormosa I am not a fan of the rules. But I also clearly understand why they are necessary. The Peggy's cove analogy endangers one person with their own negligence. Here we are talking about thousands of peoples and our natural ressources being endangered. Let's respect our neighbors.

@Seb_Roy33 @KeldenFormosa Even you see how silly this is... not a fan of the rules. Yes, ppl can be dumb... like the ones that stand on the rocks at Peggys cove.. guess we should just ban people from visiting for safety.. right??

@MapleDOGEh @KeldenFormosa Nova Scotia is well versed in forest management. Changes don't happen in the snap of a finger, it takes time. In the mean time, temporary measures can be a good ressource. I feel like this is a good use of these temporary measures.

@Seb_Roy33 @KeldenFormosa What’s to say it won’t be longer? With increasing drought conditions and improper forest management, these “temporary measures” will likely become more and more prevalent. Why not work towards proper forest management and harsher punishments for arsons?

@MapleDOGEh @KeldenFormosa Hence, the importance of taking some temporary measures to ensure the sustainability of these practices. You would agree that it's better to stay out of the woods for a few weeks than a few years.

@Seb_Roy33 @KeldenFormosa Walking in the woods IS unavoidable daily life for many rural people. We live in the woods. We forage and fish for sustenance. City folks have become so detached from rural life that they have no understanding of what our daily lives entail.

@KeldenFormosa I live in the woods and never put anyone in danger. I’ve also seen plenty of idiots out there. If me staying out for a few weeks stops them and lets me get back safely later, fine. I’m not a fan of the rules, but I get why they exist. Let’s not blow this out of proportion.

@KeldenFormosa To be clear: walking doesn’t cause fires. Nobody disputes that. But just because you won’t take stupid risks doesn’t mean others won’t.

@KeldenFormosa The difference is that one is unavoidable daily life, the other is avoidable risk-taking. Regulations should be based on reducing avoidable strain on emergency services.

@KeldenFormosa Walking in high-risk areas during extreme fire conditions is an optional activity that can create a new rescue situation where one didn’t need to exist.
