Regine is a very special person. She has such a talent for music. Regine can play anything she hears. She can make all kinds of music and can play a ton of different instruments. She's brilliant with songwriting. She throws her heart and soul into everything she does. She's got a lot to show for all her hard work and now has something else to show for it. She really deserves that honorary doctorate.
Congratulations on the honour. Régine is a class act and a brilliant musician, one of the greatest of our generation.

Elle aime son pays maternelle 🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹
she’s,, so cute
🇭🇹
do y'all think win is there smiling his ass off
Of course! Haha
I think so. I also think her son will too when he's old enough to understand.
Is Professor Gabriele butchering her last name or it is actually pronounced differently in French Canadian?
Yeah she's saying Shah-sang BUT it's actually Shah-sahnye (sorry hard to explain Québecois pronunciations in English.)
@@craigramsay53 thanks, the little bit of elementary French I know was enough for me to pick up on the incorrect pronunciation. A bit surprising! It's normally so important for academia to get these things right.
Translate ti spanish, please!
Su familia huyó de la opresión, es un músico galardonado y ahora está obteniendo un doctorado en señalización de virtud. Luego murmura sobre lo mala que es la vida en Haití y cuánto "devuelve".
If you looked up the word cute in the dictionary, her photo would be there
One can only pay themselves on the back so much, I’m shook
Parles en Français , si t'es a Montréal
Wow de Oppresso liber and its result outside the oppression.
A slap in the face to the graduates
Y u mad
So you don't need schooling for a doctorate, just be a rockstar. Got it.
HONORARY is the key word here Sir
She's an alumni.
Stupid win butler cheated her partner regine many years with many girls that said it was sexual abuse case. I dont know why regine is still with him she should have separated since long time..................He will be now BE CANCELLED.........
It is unusual for a wife to admit to her husband's many infidelities and stay with him.
@@amerocker cause she is as bad as him
What is wrong with this picture she spoke of everything that is caring, kind ,generous ,giving, loving ,honorable and genuine without a mention of giving any glory to God.Her parents must have left something out in raising her ,They couldn't have been to good of parents they forgot about the creator and what he gives and loves.
Yeah man i agree with you. But let’s not act like you can’t be a good person with good parents if you don’t believe in god. We can be good people without god but we grow so much with god
Get over yourself and your ego. The need to gatekeep other people's religion to show how religious YOU are. Christ was loving and accepting.Take his example. Her religion is not your business.
What a disgusting comment.
French only bothers me when Canadians speak it. Idk. 🙆♂️
There was barely any french in this, so you must be extremely sensitive. Poor thing.
Disgusting
