Economic update: It’s in English; now French, now English… now I’m off to Fox News Channel thanks

Once again, I’m forced to save my sanity and turn off Canadian TV/le télévision canadienne as our Prime Minister/Premier ministre du Canada et Le Nation du Quebec speaks to our nation about our nation and its economy/economie, in Franglish —that idiotic, crazy/fou, infuriating, incomprehensible/incompréhensible, ridiculous/ridicule, politically-correct in Quebec/Québec (no sorry actually, French-only in Quebec is what’s de rigueur), combi-language —often combined right there in mid-sentence—switching from English to French.  And then back again.  And then back to the other language.  And then back again.  All this with weird-sounding translation from some gink on CBC and CTV—often a woman speaking for Harper who is notably a man/un homme.

If you want to speak “bi-lingual” then go ahead and say your piece in English, and then spend all your own (apparently free) time saying the exact same thing again in French afterward.  But don’t expect me to listen to both at the same time. 

Thanks/Merci.
