This shows how young people don’t want to marry anymore, smh.

When you talk with someone about that book you’ve both read and realize that you both have a very different pronunciation of a character’s name.

everyone wins but American automakers and their stakeholders

Canada is one of their stakeholders, as these cars are built with pieces and raw materials made in Canada. That sector is the second largest export from Canada by value.

I wish reality was objective, so I wouldn’t have to worry about it :3

He’s actually the conservative we would have had if the CPC wasn’t so trashy.

Much higher than the average 9.5% in ROC.
Also, Ottawa had 36.4% of it’s population bilingual in 2021. You can see that that’s very low, right? Especially for the capital of a “bilingual” country.
Meanwhile, Gatineau has 64.6%. If it doesn’t make clear that Québécois are more bilingual than anglo canadians, I don’t know what will. All you have to do is cross a river and bilingualism doubles.

Maybe it’s because “people living near Ottawa” are actually people from Québec (Gatineau), and Montreal has a large english community that kinda forces french speaker to speak english. Doesn’t change anything in that english speaker are very much better received in Québec than french speaker are elsewhere in Canada.
If we look at the last census from 2021 : https://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2021/as-sa/98-200-X/2021013/98-200-x2021013-eng.cfm
Non-metropolitain Québec has 30% of its population bilingual, versus 10% in non-metropolitain Canada outside Québec. Comparing Edmonton (a province capital with a million people) to Chicoutimi, a small town of 70k people is just unfair, and even then, Chicoutimiens are probably more able to speak english than Edmontoniens are to speak french.
Sure, without Montreal and Gatineau, Québec’s stats would drop a bit, but would stay higher than Canada by a large margin, excluding the french part of New-Brunswick, as I said.

So annoyin’

Looks like ordiphone is accepted, but I honestly never heard that. Everybody simply calls that a “téléphone” in Québec, and advertisements usually use “téléphone intelligent”.

My last flatmate said that. Took me some explanation to understand what he meant. So he had to explain to me what “running” is. Fun time.

Québécois are the most bilingual people in Canada, besides french New-Brunswickois.

Joyeux festin, not “happy meal”.
Stationnement, not “parking”.
Course à pied, not “du footing”.
Magasinage, not “shopping”.
Téléphone intelligent, not “smartphone”.

I once heard of someone who would do a regular shopping, and take everything and put it in a stew. Meat, vegetables, fruits, cheese, bread… Whatever was bought that day. I guess that’s one way to avoid measuring everything separately.
