James Moore in Canadian Bacon: en francais s'il vous plait

Author: Derek Fildebrandt 2010/02/16

Minister of Apologizing for Arts "Cuts" James Moore is upset with Vancouver 2010 organizers for not including enough French in the opening ceremonies, despite it being used as the first language for narrating events. Bilingualism bureaucrat Graham Fraser agreed whole-heartedly, being the objective public servant that he is. No mention needed of Jean Charest, who never misses an opportunity to play the nationalist and victim cards in order to prove to his provinces more excitable advocates that he is actually one of them.

Nobody argues that there should not have been French used in the opening ceremonies, but at some point our leaders begin to sound like DanAykroyd in Canadian Bacon.

Check out these two famous scenes, and please accept my appologies for posting anything by this film's director.
