@fennix @auxonic @johnefrancis @briankrebs That was already not happening anymore, but that makes it even easier
@auxonic @johnefrancis @briankrebs I have a secret security clearance and the process was SO much less invasive than that. So ridiculous
@futurebird Omg that is hilarious. Poor Cricket 😆
@handmade_ghost that's beautiful!! 
@dillyd It's always about being dressed for the weather, isn't it? Proud of you!!
@chris @jubiloMX @CleoQc @bougiewonderland @pycomtois thank you for saying it; we couldn't haha 😆
@jubiloMX @CleoQc @bougiewonderland @chris @pycomtois same. I was learning Spanish and German in college too, and they were both difficult, even if, of course German was harder because it was so different. Learning a language, when it's not taught to you as a child, is difficult. Period. It takes work and determination.
@jubiloMX @chris @pycomtois Yep. The number of time I've seen public servants be.. vicious about Québécois having more management jobs at the government because "they just know English - and we don't need French".
It's astounding.
Like... my parents know about 5 words of English. No one in Québec City spoke English when I was born.
I worked hard.
@chris @pycomtois I'd be fine with that. Just need to change the requirements of the job you know. That one is a FR/EN job (right now), she promised to learn, and she has not even tried a little bit.
You can't be a manager in the PS without speaking FR and EN.
I totally wish we would add extra official languages to Canada though. Then we could have a different conversation.
@chris @pycomtois I'm hoping people would react like you do if she spoke her indigenous language and French. And after 5 years wasn't able to read one word of English.
But I doubt
@chris @pycomtois I agree with you except for trying. Even my husband heard her try to "read" one sentence in French this year and it was absolutely impossible to understand
Hey friends! If you need - or would like to - migrate to a different instance...
Back in the day, Jace and I wrote and translated in French a little guide to help!
Just replace mstdn.ca by the instance your want to move to 💜
@eclectech we can zoom on our phone! That's so beautiful
@dillyd 🙄
@artemis thanks for sharing all of this! It shows that people can do *something*. And he's putting himself in potential danger to protect other people. He should be proud.
Tell him random people on the Internet are proud of him!
@jerzone that's so pretty!!!
@Natasha_Jay In Québec French: Rat de bibliothèque (library rat)
Good history reminder. For.. no reason at all, eh.

In the 1930s, British leaders pursued appeasement because they wanted to avoid a second world war.
"Today, appeasement is usually regarded as a failure"
