Just used Google to translate it (had to right click, and go to Translate)
- philistine 5y agoBilingualism in Canada is not about providing both languages automatically in all contexts. Radio-Canada and the CBC are two distinct public broadcasters under a shared corporate structure. So they have two websites, two networks of stations (TV and radio), and they share buildings where it makes sense, but a news article in French Radio-Canada will not mean the English CBC will even be interested to publish anything on the subject. C'est deux solitudes.

- belval 5y agoYou'd love federal elections in Canada, it's a pet peeve of mine to listen to both speeches of a candidate and note the differences. Trudeau did a lot of that in the last campaign where he wanted to appease both Quebec and the ROC so he added some qualifiers to his sentences in either language to create or remove ambiguity on some promises he was making.

- bawolff 5y agoThere's a difference between a public broadcaster and say, tax documents when it comes to how bilingualism is applied.
