UK news channels were having a nightmare. They had two translators, so when they were translating the English to French we couldn't hear the original English well as the French drowned it out. Only one translator was needed for UK

It’s okay. Some of them don’t understand the English parts either.

I hope they are going: ‘WTF, we could’ve had have THIS kind of leadership’.

I mean, I was jealous of Trudeau during the 1st t**** term 😭😭😭.

Many Americans are familiar with this phenomenon. Whether French or Spanish, es lo mismo.

Lots of languages spoken here in the San Francisco Bay area. On a l’habitude. 😀 Et on suit ce qui se passe au Canada avec grand intérêt.

The US is such an insular place to live. It's all good for them to just pay attention to anything outside of the country.

It's good to be multi lingual; Comrade FELON 34 only speaks gibberish, it's really annoying

I’m headed your way.

Lol. It drives them insane.

The average American doesn’t understand accommodations; most don’t speak a second language and are insular thinkers.

I can’t picture any Americans tuning into Canadian politics.

themajor59.bsky.social•20 days ago

I do.

novaken.bsky.social•20 days ago

Great to hear!

I also understand enough French that I can follow the Canadian politicians when they switch to French. Understanding international politics from another country's perspective is important.

Your picture may want modification.

For the past few years I have been trying to tune into foreign politics more. Very little information about foreign governments is shared in our news media (the US is such a shit show there isn't time for anything else). It is so important to know what is going on elsewhere.

As long as some of it is the truth it's better than our politicians.

Something interesting,if you watch a Pompus Pierre Poilievre speech or press conference he always starts by speaking French. He probably does this to garner Quebecois votes. . I also understand he doesn't spirit very well

No American r listening. They have no clue about the world. Seulement leur nombril.

riley37.bsky.social•20 days ago

You say that despite US Americans commenting on this post, who have listened to Canadian news, and noticed the mix of languages.

Denial of realty, when the facts are right in front of you, is even worse than ignorance. You're in denial, clinging to your arrogant narrative... rather like Trump.

Honestly, my brain is so bilingual I don't notice until the translator starts 😂😂😂😂 then I'm like oh yeah that's English now 😆😆😆

queenofthe892.bsky.social•19 days ago

That's exactly what I told the husband yesterday, I said I'd make a terrible simultaneous translator because my brain doesn't even compute that the language has switched.

thegardeningbard.bsky.social•18 days ago

It's like oops 😂😂😂
