Also Spanish bilingualism is going to need to become the norm among nationally ambitious politicians in a similar way (if lesser extent) to French in Canada.

That is so awesome! So much fun for all who can read Arabic. See what bilingualism does for you?

NO STEPS BEHIND by @jeffgottesfeld.bsky.social "is a remarkable tribute to the value of bilingualism, cross-cultural competency, and courageous commitment to justice" says #Kirkus www.crestonbooks.co/nostepsbehind

The same guy who kiboshed a deal by demanding Canada having to submit any trade deals with other countries to the US for approval AND we have to jettison French bilingualism? Yeah Nutlick can fuck all the way off.

Speaking multiple languages can enhance cognitive abilities, such as memory, focus, and multitasking skills.

Bilingualism is linked to better brain health and may delay cognitive decline as people age.

No wonder republicans want people to only speak one language.
JD Vance whines about translators in hospitals and says, "how about if everyone just spoke English?"

If the United States embraced bilingualism like Canada does, it would be a better country.

Everyday isn't going great, bilingualism is down. Mtl and other ostensibly bilingual places are shifting away from French because of the heavy handed stuff (based on last few censuses)

My French isn't great. I was brought up in Quebec and I could get by in French. But I was never even close to functional bilingualism. But the language we spoke Incorporated french words and expressions and that still influences how I think and speak.

Suggesting using bilingualism is NOT always political! She also claims that I’m “spreading hate”, but how can I be spreading hate when there’s a lot of evidence exposing her and I’m asking by followers to NOT go after her? Again, please do NOT go and attack her for what she has done whatsoever.

That was also a reason but cites being impressed by how they could flick between the languages, so set himself the challenge. Apparently he only spoke Spanish to his children to encourage bilingualism

The testimony I sent to Canada’s Senate on C-22 is accepted for the committee to read!

It will be public for anyone to read once the Senate translates the document into French to comply with Canada’s official bilingualism policy.

I have yet to learn if I will be invited to testify

This is how the Boers installed one party, totalitarian rule, facilitating the implementation of Apartheid, of White, minority rule. Political purging of any non-Boers from Civil Service, with a bilingualism requirement, in that case. This is the exact same process. Hitler-esque loyalty, no less.

I completed this. Even though French doesn't intersect much with my daily life I thinking it's an important part of being Canadian.
Please take a second to go vote, hopefully for the importance of bilingualism and translation in #Canada Prenez une seconde, surtout si vous êtes bilingue (ou souhaiteriez l'être!) pour demander au gouvernement de ne pas abandonner le français au Canada FR: https://pch.survey-sondage.ca/f/s.aspx?s=A75AF21F-7014-46DA-80F5-C8B63E12C388&lang=FR EN: https://pch.survey-sondage.ca/f/s.aspx?s=A75AF21F-7014-46DA-80F5-C8B63E12C388&lang=EN #Québec
