Air Canada fined for no French

A Federal Court judge fined Air Canada $12,000 on Wednesday after an Ottawa man accused the airline of failing to serve him in French during several flights he took in 2009.

The court ruled Air Canada didn't respect its linguistic obligations under the Official Languages Act.

I wonder if that qualifies as the world's most expensive soda.

Yet every town and community that tries something similar here is labeled as racist.

The French cultural heritage:  chronic selfish stupidity.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

I guess 300 years in the new world can't change a universal truth:
The French are a$$holes no mater where on earth you go.
