@RealAlbanianPat in the past month alone he has gloated about the "creolisation" of France, said white people were ugly, and how Quentin deserved his fate and that this was only a ploy to discredit the left, I think a lot of real french people have started to see the malevolent left he represents

CEO French. Most people think “woke” in Canada is just about being nice. Polite. Inclusive. Harmless. Like putting a land acknowledgement on your website and calling it a day. That’s the sales pitch. Now watch the behaviour, not the branding. What we actually have isn’t kindness. It’s compliance with a moral script that keeps changing mid-sentence. One year’s acceptable language becomes next year’s offence. Words get redefined. Intent doesn’t matter. Only alignment does. Miss a step and you’re not corrected, you’re marked. And here’s the trick. It didn’t spread through loud revolution. It spread through HR policies, university codes, and government frameworks. Quietly. Form by form. Training module by training module. You don’t vote on it. You absorb it. Like background radiation. Then you get moments that expose how brittle this system is. Take Air Canada. The CEO offers condolences… but not in French. And suddenly, that’s the story. Not the loss. Not the people affected. The language choice. The compliance failure. Think about that. We’ve trained ourselves to scan for symbolic mistakes instead of focusing on substance. The priority shifts from “Was this humane?” to “Was this perfectly aligned with every linguistic expectation?” Miss one box, and the reaction machine spins up. That’s not compassion. That’s ritual. People say, “If it’s so bad, why doesn’t anyone push back?” They do. Just not publicly. Because the real currency here isn’t truth. It’s risk. Risk to your job. Your reputation. Your access. So people do the math. Stay quiet. Nod along. Keep your head down. The classic Canadian move. Keep the peace. Don’t make it awkward. But silence has a side effect. It looks like agreement. And that’s how you end up with a system that feels unanimous on the surface and hollow underneath. A lot of people going through the motions. Saying the lines. Not buying the script. Here’s the part that gets ignored. The original impulse wasn’t crazy. Fair treatment. Equal opportunity. Basic dignity. Most Canadians already agreed with that decades ago. That wasn’t the fight. The shift happened when it stopped being about fairness and started being about control of language and outcomes. When disagreement became “harm.” When questions became “violence.” That’s not progress. That’s a shutdown of thinking. And once a system punishes questions, it stops correcting itself. It drifts. Fast. My take. Don’t overreact and don’t submit. Call things what they are, calmly and clearly. Refuse the language games. Ask simple questions and keep asking them. No yelling. No panic. Just steady pressure. Because systems like this don’t collapse from outrage. They collapse when enough people quietly stop pretending to believe them.

How Quebec of you to limit the selection of qualified CEO’s for private companies to be bilingual. And you wonder why corporations fled that bullshit decades ago.
Dimitris Soudas 🇨🇦⚜️🇬🇷☦️ 13.12.1943@DimitrisSoudas

Let’s be precise. Millions of Canadians are not paid 12 million dollars a year to lead a company that is legally bound by the Official Languages Act. That standard exists for a reason. It comes with the job. It is not optional. Framing this as a struggle of “ordinary Canadians versus elites” is simply not grounded in reality. In Ottawa, the vast majority of deputy ministers are Anglophone. In cabinet, francophone ministers have often presented in English. I do not recall many, if any, Anglophone ministers presenting in French. The imbalance you are pointing to is not where you suggest it is. This is not about sidelining anyone. It is about leadership and responsibility. Mr. Rousseau has lived in Quebec for two decades. His spouse is francophone. He leads a national carrier subject to federal law. He publicly committed years ago to learning French. After hundreds of hours of tutoring, in a moment that required dignity and respect, he could not deliver even a few sentences in the language of one of the victims and their family. That is not about control. That is about priority. And let’s be honest about the lived reality of this country. Francophones who move into majority Anglophone environments adapt quickly because they must. They do not have the luxury of opting out. That expectation has never been controversial. Yet when the expectation is reversed at the highest levels of leadership, it suddenly becomes a debate about fairness. It is not. Canada made a foundational choice. Two official languages. Not one and a half. Not when convenient. Not when it is easy. In moments of tragedy, language is not a technicality. It is how you show respect. It is how you honour people. It is how you lead. Reducing this to a question of control or elite pressure misses the point entirely and risks turning a matter of basic respect into an unnecessary division.

@CoryBMorgan @gemstercasey1 Two people died and the stupid French want to bitch about the speech the CEO gave. They don’t care about the accident they just want gold in the victim Olympics.

David Knight Legg@KnightLegg·
Imagine you’re the CEO of Air Canada…. ….sleepless and dealing with a brutal tragedy in real time with vast US and Canadian media coverage - and your PM decides to hit you with a cheap shot saying you lack ‘compassion’ because you lack excellent French language skills. But you’re the CEO of a regulated industry so he knows you can’t punch back. Even though his own French is carefully stage-managed. And the Governor General can barely speak it. The PM chose to use a national tragedy to score marginal political points with the Quebec language police. Tone deaf and gross. Je veux dire, c'est grotesque et d'une insensibilité totale.

@BBCWorld this is wild. Dude's plane literally just crashed and they're out here nitpicking that the message was only in English? Like, compassion my ass – people are probably still shook and trying to get help, not worrying about bilingual announcements right now
