When English Canada has talk we have to show French what was said. I noticed the French did not have anything in English. Why the unfairness?
It's because we have a two tier system where Quebec receives 80 percent of respect and the roc receive only 20 percent of respect.
Don't worry about it. You're working on your English right now and you will improve. So far so good.. Best wishes.
Lol really
When Justin speaks French, why do his hands flap like a grounded seagull?
@@mackenzie9865 LOL. is English mastery seems fine to me...
i think most people in quebec are happy if you make an effort and respect the language..shunning it off is what they do not like
I thought everyone had to take French in school in Canada? In America almost everyone I knew took a foreign language and even at my college I had to take Spanish....
Why is Blanchett there he only represents Quebec he doesn't care about the rest of Canada
Please, it's Blankshit.
They have always been Quebec first and only!!! Since when have they been about anyone else?
I love how they criticize o toole and not signhs French.
They all suck. Blanchet the least most out of the 4
Singh felt absent from the debate.
Both are bad trudeaus french is the best he won the french debate for sure
Singh is trilingual. Give him a damn break.
The irony of someone who is not particularly fluent in English critiquing the fluency of anglophones in French.
So true..that’s the French for you..
@@0mkaktus Her inarticulate description in english fails to really give good insight.
@@andrew20146 seems more like you dislike the fact she failed to validate your fragile conservative worldview.
You want a French speaker to rate someone's French. are you that eager to point at some perceived hypocrisy?
Well, I find that Monsieur O'tool has made a lot of progress in French ,
This isn't a debate, this is a speak over each other as loudly as possible event. Embarrassing that Canadian politics doesn't seem to understand the whole concept of debate rules.
I think as a society we have lost what it means to be Canadian division of values and beliefs are changing Canadians today. Personally I don't believe diversity and multiculturalism is a good thing for Canada. The more diverse we become the more different we become. You now have towns in the country that is populated by one culture like a getto. Look at Burnaby where there are many Asians and Brampton where there are many south Asian people . just look at Quebec they have their own country, laws, and language.
@That HALO Dude Nah. Born in T.O. and raised a few hours north of there. But nice try, Komrad Dudesky.
I can order coffee and say my cat is pretty in French. Great phrases for a debate.
"Why do you constantly deny selling corporate sponsorships?"
"I would like 1 coffee, please."
😋
That's two more sentences than I know. My answer to every question would be "Je m'appelle [my RL name]" (My name is [my RL name]). 😁
French speakers despise Trueau's french. Where the hell did they drum this lady up?
Is it just me or does he speak like a highschooler? He reminds me of the people I used to go to college prep with right after highschool.
The other Defenders failed because their French wasn't up to par. That about makes all sense I need to know about the French and Quebec you know what let them leave
For your province leader sure speaking French is important, but not for the leader of the nation. Majority speak English you go to the UN those countries learn English to communicate come on I'm tired of giving whinny Quebec what they want.
I am in anglo supremacy side but it deosnt mean we have the right to evaporate their identity. Canada is officially bilingual regardless which one is the majority. Therefore the leader must be fluent on both as a mandatory requirement. Come on language learning is super beneficial, it shodulnt be seen as punishment but a educational blessing
Speaking french is a benefit, don't be so negative.
@Jeff Anderson the slangs is the less matters, i am british so outside the UK nobody use our slangs, so what? A reason to be evaporated? Nope, same with French speaking countries and regions. I learn language because is is jolly beneficial to unlock communication possibilities, not jsut because a quite direct need, that' s mediocre
Ce n’est pas seulement le Québec qui est francophone, l’Ontario, le Nouveau-Brunswick ont une forte présence francophone. Tu ne vas pas comprendre mon commentaire alors que moi je comprends le tien parce que les francophones du Québec sont forcés à être bilingue contrairement aux anglophones unilingues. Bonne journée.
Actions Speak Louder than Words !!! Need someone to stop house pricing surge !! Ban foreign buyers and speculators to get to the market…
It’s also very sad they even made a story about this, this has nothing to do with being a real leader
Truetoad has to know he has no respect..he's just a teacher..hàsnt helped anyone but his drama life in the open..he don't care about you or me..he's not happening again
This 'expert' was brutal. Had nothing interesting to say beyond what any bilingual person could ascertain.
😳what kind of nonsense are you showing CBC?
You need to evaluate the candidate according to his real deeds
Not knowledge of the language
Question CBC: what if the candidate cannot swim 🏊♀️? (can't save a drowning person)
And that from this he cannot be prime minister?
CBC did not invent candidate debates. Your expectations seem much closer to nonsense, if you think a news site would not focus on an all-part campaign evetn during a campaign.
@@jugsteve What does the language have to do with it?
Canada is a multinational country
Maybe you will start choosing a candidate by skin collar?
@@0mkaktus The prime minister must be well versed in the economic well-being of the state and its residents
But the fact that he is fluent in several languages but does not understand anything about economics
This will not help Canadian citizens financially
If not for a bilingual requirement, we would have even dumber candidates for Prime Minister. Just look at what happened in the states. This just goes to show that they should recognize Spanish as an official language there.
Fun fact! 6% of Canadians speak only french, Quebecers mostly.
And that's totally not because of assimilation measures by Canada... make them a minority by persecuting them and then use their state of minority to justify further persecution
Fun fact! It's still an official language of this country in spite of your lack of patriotism.
@@jerQCote exactly! Thank you!
Actually 22% of Canadians speak French.
@@goldengreen7763 I said 6% of Canadians speak only french. The majority of francophones speak english also, but some only speak french.
00:00-00:52 and to think there is an entire series of debates in another language just to have CBC to translate to the whole damn thing word for word back into English -_-
(Also shout out to those interpreters. That must be exhausting)
Two French debates，only one English debate........
and?
@@meatloafmen It's unfair...
@@firstatlas5846 why?
@@meatloafmen you should ask yourself
@@firstatlas5846 good answer
Are we gonna say how much of an accent the Bloc leader has after the English debate? Or is it only kosher to talk about the anglophones?
@@amandahuginkiss4098
He has in the past. His English is good, but I was getting at the journalists here picking at the anglophone candidates' French and their accents.
@@amandahuginkiss4098 Yes the leader of the bloc has the right, he had enough seats to be there, and he is more bilingual than O'tool
Where can I find the full debate? merci énormément!
Maxime Bernier speaks terrible English, but he's my Candidate far and away. I want the person, and couldn't care less about their language.
He'll be a big hit in Alberta.
What is Pier Karl Péladeau doing there, introducing his new baby to 200 people in covid times. I feel he can afford a sitter.
Why is there a guy greeting the candidates holding a baby???? Are they afraid of COVID????
8:53
"Thank you for urinalysis." 😋🚽
As usual on CBC JT gets more time. The prof, english is worse than OToole french
Doesn't seem fair when two of the candidates esp O'Toole are not Well versed in french
English debate is tomorrow for that. Part of being PM is being able to communicate with the French Canadians
O’tool needs to work his French skills
5:30
Anyone else hear lingerie 👙?
You think so .
We poeple will take back power
Ok
CBC blows
Maxime Bernier should've been there, this isn't fair on him.
crying in his poutine
His French is probably better than her English.
You really think so? She seemed French speaking to me...
@@donaldlyons17 -She is. Her English is bad. Reread what I wrote. 😐
@@canadianjoker5033 I will not just re-read but also re-listen to her. I felt her English was excellent compared to some of the native US English speakers I talk to but...
Why was Justin Trudeaus Wife not seen with Him? Yet Erin OTooles Wife was?
They're not together anymore I think. She was probably out with her boyfriend(s) LOL!
Who cares? We are long past the days of a trophy wife as window dressing for a candidate.
@@judyives1832 Snob.
Justin speaking way too moistly
It’s obvious af that JT wins this one again. The man was a born winner.
The man is not a born winner. He was born a winner. He's just an aristocrat pretending he's a normal Canadian.
Are you by chance sniffing glue?
Wins in what respect? Speaking French or convincing voters to let him and his party continue to govern?
Very poor English. Émérites or not
Canadas main language is english, who really cares about a french debate...
Canada has 2 official languages French and English, Better get used to it
You did not learn any French in school? I am from the US and most of us even took French or Spanish or English so why would a Canadian not?
Where is the ppc? Ahh yea can’t have the money paid off person there
Ppc didn't have the popularity number to join the debates when they were set up, now ppc sits around 4.5-6% they can join if they wanted now but it would take a court order I believe.
Berniers at home crying le waa, le waa.
This lady needs to learn to speak English - it's very disjointed. Look at Charlotte Cardin, she's Quebecois but if you listen to her speak English you wouldn't know she was French.
Considering english is a very easy language, i dont think she cares
@@francoisdaureville323 I deal with native English speakers I don't understand already. If they can't be understood really?
😉
Hello Cristina how are you doing?
@@scotchharvey4490 this is not tinder, my man
What happened to the green party?
Maybe she doesn't speak French?
@@Cosmic.cougar so what you're saying is politics is only for a select few who are bilingual? We don't have translators?
@@Cosmic.cougar I'm not defending the green party, I was just curious.
She was not invited cause there are no Green MPs in Quebec
The Green Party wasn’t invited because it doesn’t have any elected representatives from Quebec in the Parliament.
Waste of time!!!!!!
Where was Maxime Bernier? Hmm the name "People's Party of Canada" is a little too much like "Chinese People's Party"?
❤🍁VOTE FOR A LIBERAL CANADA🍁❤
Name mate im good
Yes 🥰
GOD BLESS L
