Dying language, dead brain

Tonight on Les Francs-Tireurs, Richard Martineau spoke to Josée Legault about the "dreadful" state of the langue française. Please, she makes half her money writing in English for the Gazette. She's gonna bitch that someone else dares to use their own language where and when they want to? Try demanding service in French from a Francophone and they will tell you that they can use the English language when and how they want to. The loi 101 doesn't apply to them, deux poids, deux mesures and all that.

If you must go on about how French is going extinct and it's all the fault of the English, at least hire someone who isn't a complete vendue / hypocrite. The English language is only a danger when Anglophones and Allophones are using it. Of course if we spoke to them in French with our "funny" accents, they would tell us to stop "breaking my language". They don't want us to speak French but to disappear.

Josée says that the poor tormented pure laine who has just seen a unilingual sign and has to look at an impure laine shop clerk, doesn't want the added responsibility of being a délateur. Why not? Others already have, but if you try to repeat the act without being a pure laine, they will ignore you repeatedly. She says that "in certain neighborhoods" you see a lot of English signs. Voilà le vrai problème! It's not that the English language is taking up too much space, it's that the English themselves are taking up too much space. Josée accords them none except what she offers them every week in her "fabulous" column. Do as I say, not as I do.

On the following show, "Voir le TV show", Josée was again a Star, speaking about her dear friend Pierre Falardeau. She got all weepy recalling her favorite memory of him when they went to the Ritz-Carlton for tea and cucumber sandwiches! Oh how they giggled! Just like his work: cliched and obvious like a brain-dead 12 year old with a sledge hammer.
