1. Good luck Mr. Ford.

Il est épais.

2. Ontarians have a period of french class in public

school. If he doesn't know how complicated a language french is ....oh wait. Doug was the mid level manager in drug deals in high school. He was busy. That's why he doesn't know french. Please proceed..

3. Il est con, aussi.

Some people can learn quickly. But nuance is very important.


French and English are my maternal languages.

To learn German was difficult.

5. I learnt french in kindergarden they was full time french immersion

in public school. I was bilingual at 13. It comes back to me if i use it in a job. I actually have form as my first language. English came late.

6. I don't think you capitalize the F or second L.

7. I took 2 years of French in high school

and speak and write French like a French 2 year old ….Thanks for your input

10. It was understandable.

And that counts as well.

My wife had much difficulty learning what French that she knows. It is very difficult for Anglophones.

11. It was dumb luck that i remembered. I'm not a spelling or grammar

person in any language. Didn't mean to pick. But i think Doug Ford as a 'retail politician' is not naturally good at grammar or spelling either. Ne lui disez pas. Man i have 13 years of french or more and i needed more. You must be good at languages if you only did 2 years and remembered what you did.

8. Mais on peut le comprendre.

9. Hahaha

Biggest asshole ever.

12. Nobody has failed up as hard as Dougie Ford

He was in over his head in municipal politics, and he's in way over his head at the provincial level. He would be completely at sea at the federal level, which makes him perfect for a bunch of experienced politicians at the top of the CPC party to manipulate him into just what they want. Dougie, you're being used.
