I’m multilingual and all for people speaking multiple languages, especially here where the CEO could’ve spoken both languages.

I do however think this is incredibly petty. I have to agree with former Alberta Premier Jason Kenney that I’d rather have the CEO focused on safety rather than language lessons.

At some point we need to stop being outraged at such childish issues: why is this even an issue? The actual accident and the (lack of) safety procedures should take precedence.

Pretty simple really. They expect him to speak French, he doesn't, = problem.

My guess is they've been super pissed off about this for a long time.

You don’t put out a video as a CEO with out a whole team stressing over every word. IMO he chose to not include French.

Not saying this requires stepping down but I feel it was an unforced error
