Off the Record / Re: [Canada] Canadian Politics...

That's also why you hear so few Canadian CEOs, who are federally regulated say anything publicly. Very few of them are bilingual.

As always, the best and brightest rarely end up in positions of power. A very simple requirement to be able to speak French at a toddler level is too much for these incompetent morons.

You are paid millions a year and you can't do this elementary school easy bullshit that any 8 year old could do? What a disgrace.

They mainly come from the US or were educated in American universities.  And federally regulated companies rarely pay their CEOs millions a year.

Look when I interviewed to work for Samsung here in Austin (I did not get the job just FYI) I was told that to go very far in that company I was going to have to learn Korean and they would supply Korean lessons. They had a special Korean language classroom in the building and everything. All the managers, all Americans, had taken the time to learn Korean to the point they could communicate with upper management in Korea. If our monolingual Texas asses can learn fucking Korean for the sake of our middle management careers surely it shouldn't be hard to teach us French. Once money is at stake it is amazing how bilingual we can become.

This just shows Canadian companies don't really care.

I see so in the US the company tells the CEO what to do. I'm not sure that that's how it works but if it makes you feel better to think that way then OK

An Iranian group claims to have hacked and released FBI director Kash Patel's private emails.

I voted quagmire. I think the most likely outcome is that Trump is going to put boots on ground somewhere at some point, and think once he does that it'll inevitably turn into a larger deployment.

Really hard to guess, since there is no plan at all, but I'll be surprised if the US decides to put huge ground forces into Iran. But if they do, a greatly weakened America will make Nato allies sleep better at night.

Oh we will. Our boys are going in.

Poll is open only for five days.

What does languish think? Is Trump going to put boots on the ground in Iran, and if so how is it going to go in terms of escalation.

You missed out the "trump's Schrödinger boots on or off the ground" option.

burgers are now outright stealing the military supplies the Europeans paid for through the PURL initiative by diverting the material to the Persian Gulf.

They are a joke and a threat. We need a divorce.
