Fair enough, but maybe she should have known that in order to get that decent paycheque she'd have to earn it - and that one of the prerequisites might be a modicum of ability in French if she wanted to work for a Crown Corporation that had to abide by relevant legislation regarding the provision of bilingual services. This legislation would have been around for a while by the time Kate entered the aviation racket - she must have known well in advance what might be necessary in order to gain employment with Air Canada.

Yet, even with this advance knowledge, she chose not to learn French.

I can't help but suspect that she wasn't really all that motivated to work for Air Canada to begin with.

   

I liked the Cree version that was sung at the hockey game in Edmonton.There's also a very beautifull Irish version done in gaelic(sp).

I dont think it matters what language its in.

Inuktitut version.

Havent translated that one yet,could take awhile.

   

Oh Canada as Gaeilge.

Blue and white with a splash of red. This is the new flag of the self-governed Tlicho people. It unfurls with a snap as a group of youth sing Oh Canada in Tlicho. “A lot of artists have put a lot of work into the flag,” Wetrade says proudly. “It means many things. The sun, the land and the river and the four tipis represent the four Tlicho communities. When Chief Monfwi spoke in 1921, he said: ‘As long as the sun rises and river flows and does not flow backward, everything will be okay.’”

   

That's so freaky.

I am the original poster of that thread on IGT.com. I'm <<Ossian>>. I've been posting there for a few years. This is the first time two of my online personas have ever crossed paths.

Are you a poster over at IGT?

   

No,just weird shit happens to me. I was searching for the lyrics for our anthem in other languages,namely Inuktitut and that came up on a search.

   

Actually I'm part of the NWO and weve been watching you for awhile.


"jingles keys"

   

On another board I post they call these PC people "Huffy". The goods being The Humanity Rights Commission and so forth are for these "Huffy" people.

   

Justkate.. what f---n planet are you on..Canada has two official languages English and French.. the country was founded by the french and the English came later.. the battle of the plains of abraham changed the course of history but the official languages are entrenched in the constitution.. so get a grip and study the history and social fabric of this country... you are so ignorant about the country you live in.... this crap really pisses me off

   

Ya Kate,jheeeesh,just type french military victories into google.

   

   

Try it.

   

and for those of you who blame lack of knowing french to get a government job in canada... c'est la vie.. its the same for a french person. I am half french half english. my mother was quebecoise.. I speak read and write in both languages.. I do not qualify for work in a government job or hospital because I fall short in the testing.... do I whine about that..no I dont cut it and if I wanted to I would increase knowledge in both official languages.....and to the person who said there were there were 25% french and so that makes 75% anglos... you need to do your home work.. Canada is multicultural therefore there are a large percentage of the population whose mother tongue is neither french or english... but the reality is the country is officially bilingual.. that meaning french and english.... geeze

   

You have to have some sense of humour.

Heck, I am French Canadian and find this funny.

On the other hand, we have beautiful French women

   

I know,they send supermodels up to camp.
