I like how in the news story they add in this part:
Quote:
During two Air Canada flights between Ottawa and the United States in the spring of 2009, Michael Thibodeau and his wife, Lynda, were refused service in French about eight times, including when the federal government employee asked for a 7-Up but was given a Sprite instead.

Ever own a business?
Sure Air Canada is big corporation but these "types" are the ones that will try to slip and fall in your floor in hopes that your commercial insurance will pay them big bucks for your liability claim.
Which in turn makes you uninsurable for the next term or will have to be paying out of the wazoo in increased premiums.
"were refused service in French about eight times, including when the federal government employee asked for a 7-Up but was given a Sprite instead."
As a Fed-gov employee he should be bi-lingual correct? As such, he should have not had a problem communicating in English --- #justsaying

It will be pretty funny if Air Canada refuse this couple service so they had no choice but to use WestJet which isn't bound by this stupid language law.

i know lots of filipinos, white dudes and indian guys speaking cantonese then french.. stupid french.. it doesnt sound nice anyways.

I went up to a cute chick and asked her if she'd let me take a photo of her for $30 she slapped me, she said to me that "I AIN'T A WHORE!"
But other than that I have seen every car on display in DTP just by cruising about in Richmond, thank you very much for collecting them together and get someone to sing a cover for "fuck you".
OH FUCK YOU OH OH OOOOH~

Saw him being interviewed on TV last night and he is fluently bilingual. He Spoke english perfectly with only a very small trace of an accent. He has to be bilingual for his job and is. This is all about politics and money. He comes from a province where the govt fines you and makes you take signs in english down off your own business property. Office québécois de la langue française - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I'm in Montreal right now. Gotta say though, I can's speak a word of french besides Bonjour, and everyone is quite accomodating here and can speak understandable english.
But it doesn't work the other way around, maybe thats why?
still, $12000 for air canada? the fuck? this case law is gonna fuck up a lot of people/businesses down the road.
