You don’t get it!! French is AS OFFICIAL as english in Canada. French Canadians are part of the fabric of Canada. Unlike in the US where people have to press one for spanish which is not an official language of the country. Very different situation. This is Air Canada being inconsiderate and ridiculous. FYI there are more french canadians that speak english than the other way around. Quebec Separatists see this idiocy and gives them cred.
You're right. My father was from Nova Scotia and the only French he could say was Parlez-vous Frog?
