Treatment of French cadets 'deplorable'

This comes as no surprise.

Canada needs to have one language.

One people, one nation, one language.

Two languages, two peoples, two nations.

This Yves Côté should check out CF Valcartier near Quebec. He would be absolutely thrilled with it's unilingual french setup.

He should slap himself in the head and just go East. Plenty of Unilingual French bases to go around.

Canada trains almost everybody's army's, even ocasionaly some US troops but they mostly train themselves. We can't meet to everybody's needs, The Canadian Military is a hard place to get into, they have high requirements and you have to go through harsher training, then other countries military's. When you are training with the CF, you should expect it to get harsh. Idk why there complaining about that, but as for the language thing. We should have met that, since our national language is both English and French. You can't train anybody, if they can't understand what you are saying. They are right about that.

But intolerant attitudes? What the hell do they think Military Training is? A pillow fight, they need to break you before they train you. It helps you concentrate in wars, when bullets and shells are flying by your head.

DND has acknowledged for a while that 2nd language training has been sub par. This is what results.

Yes Bart, just like the USA... Si' Senior' eh' ?

English is the operating language of the Canadian military...or it was. When I was taking my TQ3 and TSQAB at Fleet School, there were also those from Quebec that were taking ELT and if they failed, they were released.

Try being an Anglophone deployed to Afghan with 5 Brigade, not exactly easy, but "soldier on", and when did we start calling recruits "cadets" I thought this guy was a "former soldier" should he not know terminology?

When did Switzerland split again?

Canada is the way it is, and that's not going to change. The Quebecois won't change to English. Albertains won't change to French. In the immortally twisted words of Donald Rumsfeld "we have the Canada we have, not the Canada we want to have."
