Is this The Onion? Getting cancelled for not speaking enough French.

Its relevant in a dual language country.

It really feels like the onion - its wild. A crash that was not the fault of Air Canada and the CEO gets canned for not having a french enough response because he doesn't speak fluently enough french. Can't make it up.

This is seriously the level of intellectual sophistication of Canadians, and French supremacist Canadians in particular, who denied a person of color candidacy in the Liberal race for Prime Minister due to the languages he spoke/didn't speak [0].

Canada has never had an ethnic minority Prime Minister. All this posturing of ethnic diversity and moral superiority over Americans is a cope and a misdirection from the fact that Laurentians [1] view themselves as ethnically and culturally superior to the rest of the country.
