I hate pollieve and will never vote conservative. I care about social programs and my ecosystem. I will never side with convoy idiots and anyone who complains about woke. My side will lose. The selfish will be in power. I'll be depressed and angry and hate my fellow Canadians. This is my prediction about the Canadian election.

Donald Trump Is Defying The Supreme Court
In the case of the wrongfully removed immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Trump administration is defying — and lying about — a Supreme Court order.
i see that French-language debate is taking place on April 16 and the English debate will take place on April 17....seeing that you are Canadian, i have a question: how important is the French-language in Canada?...the same as the Spanish-language in the United States or more important?

I respect it and think if has a place. I don't care thatbitbis mandatory in schools. It opens up well paying jobs if yiuvare fluent. Angles colonized the French colonizers, so the Canadian rednecks that say "my Canada only includes english" should just worry about birth control for intimate moments with their siblings. I myself only know French culinary terms, and didn't retain 6 years of French, but retained 2 semesters of Spanish.
it was interesting listening to Justin Trudeau translate every press conference into French, i understand that his translations were addressed also to the French-speaking communities outside of Quebec....if i'm not mistaken, Canada is one of the countries where we can find French cultural heritage outside of France

Canada is a dual-lingual country English + French.
Other countries like that:
Switzerland = four languages. German, French, Italian and Romansch.
Belgium = three languages. Flemish, French and German.
Spain = lots of official languages, too many for me to count or to know. I only know of the major ones. Spanish, Catalan, Valenciano, Basque.
Malaysia = I think it is three languages, but I could be wrong.
Not sure about many other countries or if the different languages are recognized as official languages, which means all official govt documents must be prepared in all official languages.
Fun fact: my newer Belgian birth certificate is in four languages: French, Flemish, German and English. I was born in Belgium as my parents liked the obstetrician in the clinic where my sister had been born three years earlier. It also has a key for six additional languages of the European Union. I can make out Spanish, Greek, Portuguese, Italian, Hungarian (??) and one of the Slavic languages.
My original birth certificate was only in French as I was born in a French speaking sector of Brussels and they did not have the EU back then.

Economy less important t than human rights (lgbtq and native rights) and environmental.
who you believe won the debate?
So for becoming canadian prime minister you need to speak very fluently both french and english? That's not nothing - for successfully debating in some language it's not enough to speak it a bit. Many canadian prime ministers / candidates have french names, so having grown up in a bilingual environment seems to be a good start. I guess somebody from Vancouver who never lived in a french speaking area will never succeed in a french debate. So french speakers may be over-represented amongst canadian politicians?

We zll lost. Non-negotiable Eindhoven debates. Only thing that matters is someone getting owned. Literally there is no debate. One side wants to cut funding for social services and fiesntvgiveca fuckvaboutvthe environment, refugees, natives. The other has an unrealistic dream because didn't hhough money is completely fictional, it runs the world. I still hate the former side, though.

The western canadians are redneck hillbillies. Especially Alberta. They wish they were Texas and think they are better than francophones.
May I correct about the official languages in Spain? We usually speak about 4:
- Castellano (what is often called "Spanish")
- Catalan
- Euskera (Basque)
- Gallego
Valenciano is considered by many to be a language, there is many others who don't. I consider it more a dialect of Catalan, "transformed" into a language, but non consistently enough as there is many local variations (just as any dialect). And I am from there, so it's not an outside opinion. However, that said, I will be hated by all potential Valencian SF-users from now on.
You Belgians have to fight for your right to give official names to the Belgian versions of Moule frites and éclair in Flamish!
I never had better ones than there, including Bretagne (where Moules are fantastic, too, of course)
