Preserving French in a Changing World: The Threat and Denial
2023-07-24 04:00:00
We know the climatosceptics, who refuse to recognize that the survival of the planet is threatened. I present to you the Anglosceptics, who refuse to recognize that the survival of French is threatened.
Climate skeptics question global warming. Anglosceptics question the linguistic replacement of French by English.
Both are in denial.
White nationalist neurotics?
Every time I write chronicles regarding the meteoric rise of English, I get called a pain in the ass by the Anglos.
The multimillionaire Mitch Garber attacked me violently once more because I dared to complain regarding a Canada that despises French. And Anne-Marie Withenshaw went to “like” a unilingual English publication “to piss off Sophie Durocher”, in other words just to make me “sweat”.
That bilingual Anglos deny the danger that threatens French is one thing, but when they are Francophones, that makes me sweat.
A francophone, Philippe C., wrote me a long email entitled “Revenez-en! “.
“And here are our perpetual whiners complaining, once more and once more and once more, regarding French in Quebec. First of all, French “is not the only official language” here, because “here, it’s in Canada and in Canada there are two official languages. Just because your white nationalist neurotic community says otherwise doesn’t make a difference.
“Then, yes Montreal is bilingual. Actually more than that: multilingual with Chinese, Spanish, Arabic, etc. If this irritates you, you can always go to the depths of Quebec where you will only hear French. Again, massacred French in Quebec. You are dinosaurs. The problem being that you are dangerous dinosaurs. Those who want their children to remain as stupid as themselves. It is scary. People speak the languages they want. FINAL POINT. And it’s not little white and French-speaking despots who are going to change that.
You can live only in French if you like. But don’t bother us with your “defense of French”. We are in 2023. Not in 1960.”
Welcome to the englishfest!
I regularly talk to you regarding Anglo businesses that don’t care regarding French. But what regarding the Francos who give names “in English” to their event?
As Gilles Proulx reminded us, the Gibelotte Festival in Sorel-Tracy is now called the Gib Fest.
I have written to the organizers asking for details. “The name Gib Fest was accepted by the CA of the Gib group, the founder of the festival and the City of Sorel-Tracy in November 2017. The process was very simple; revitalize a historical festival name, without completely distorting it. Since Gibelotte is no longer a dish served in the region almost outside the festival, keeping this word was less optimal.
“Thus, Gib is the diminutive of our adored and historic gibelotte and Fest stands for Sorel-Tracy summer festival!
The beauty of the French language lies in its complexity! The gib is big is a palindrome, our favorite figure of speech!
Want a good one? Yesterday, Sunday July 23, it was the Dol-Boat River Fest in Dolbeau.
I imagine that we must count ourselves lucky that the FÉQ is not called the “QuebSummerFest”.

Ukrainian Drone Attacks in Moscow: Latest News and Updates
2023-07-24 04:54:00
(CNN) — Ukrainian drones attacked two non-residential buildings in Moscow in the early hours of Monday morning and were “suppressed” by the city’s defences, Russian authorities said, describing the incident as a “botched” attack.
The attacks did not cause serious damage or casualties, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said on Telegram on Monday.
Russia’s Defense Ministry blamed Ukraine, describing the attack as a “Kyiv regime terror attack” and that the two drones were “suppressed” and crashed in Moscow.
“On the morning of July 24, an attempt by the Kyiv regime to launch a terrorist attack using two UAVs once morest facilities on the territory of the city of Moscow was thwarted,” the ministry said on Telegram.
“Two Ukrainian UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) were suppressed by means of electronic warfare and crashed,” the ministry added.
According to Russian state media TASS, a drone struck a high-rise business center on Likhacheva Avenue in Moscow.
TASS reports that drone wreckage was found on Komsomolsky Avenue in Moscow this Monday morning. TASS said that according to initial reports, there were no casualties.
Law enforcement and emergency services are currently working at the scene, according to TASS.
Traffic on Komsomolsky Avenue from central Moscow to the region has been blocked, TASS reported, citing the Moscow Department of Transport and Road Infrastructure Development.
CNN was unable to independently verify the reports.

The reported attack comes following Russian missiles heavily damaged a historic Orthodox cathedral in the southern Ukrainian port city of Odessa, sparking outrage and prompting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to vow retaliation.
The Odessa attacks killed at least one person and wounded several more, Ukrainian officials said, the latest in a wave of attacks on the port city. The attacks also destroyed other historical buildings, the Ukrainian Ministry of Culture said.
Ukraine rarely takes public responsibility for attacks that have taken place on Russian soil during the course of the war that Moscow started when it invaded in February last year, unleashing its military might on its democratic neighbor.
These include a drone strike in Moscow in May, which damaged two buildings and injured two people in which Ukraine denied direct involvement.
Earlier this month, Russia said it had “destroyed or neutralized” five Ukrainian drones in what it described as a “terrorist” attack.
