At the risk of offending everyone's sensitivities, let's be frank. The bi-lingual debate in Canada is ONLY political and I shudder to think how many more millons will be wasted on it in the future.
Were Transport Canada to announce that all charts and publications would, in the future, be published in English only, I'm quite certain the entire Canadian aviation industry would be brought to it's knees.

Aha! Must be ice hockey? Or is it Rugby!
What I have learn't - Aboat, eh!, oh yeah! & like.
Additionally I have developed an addiction to Tim Hortons.
Assimilation almost completed. Now where did I leave that baseball cap...

Roofus hit the nail on the head this time...thank goodness the English prevailed over their friendly neighbors the Welsh. Crikey....can you imagine how much fun it would be to copy a clearance in Welsh! We would be using easels instead of kneeboards!
Patrick,
if you're following this from home, your tie pin should be waiting for you on your return from leave.
Have a good break.

The late Pres. deGaulle still has an awful lot to answer for!
Does anyone else out there approach helicopter IFR (IMC) flying through France with as much trepidation as me? No idea who or what may be close by or, by speaking English, if you are receiving a proper service.
VFR would be more comfortable if the FIS transmitted something other than a taped message!
Why have the French not yet introduced the decimal clock or compass?
