Where did Red do that? I think I recall a skit on more than one show Laugh-in? Carol Burnett? I guess it was one of his signature characters (before writers laid claim) Vaudeville upbringing eh?

My français is bon enough to read the title at least. I wasnt sure if this was supposed to be funny or educational.
Thanks government of Ontario!
I might not be old enough to remember that but now I will never be able to forget.
Je souviens. Merci @Pigeonman

Always thought it was a bit much the way they ‘encouraged’ us to take French in grades 7-12 then you’d come home and see your old man freaking about seperatism. Slowly puts away french test with a+ on it… sorry not politics, just Canada in 70’s and 80’s. Obviously being bi-lingual here is a major employment plus, but they never sold it that way, they should have…

English High school but I took advanced level all through, was easy, cause all the girls took French, and I didn’t get slapped once lol. I think I know more Spanish now, as it really sucks when no one around speaks anything but english, I forgot most of it in the last 40 years, shame. Tried to pump my kids through school…nope, I told them if you were bilingual, you could get any job you want in this country, especially with the federal gov’t, oh well. Je suis fail.

You have to be really really bilingual to work for the feds.
French is actually a useful language. Former colonial power, useful in other parts of the world.
Spanish and French are close enough that learning them both is complicated. I still get confused between the 2

I find myself searching French when I don’t understand a Spanish phrase down south, Usually find a similarity and can stagger my way through informal chat,as long as the accent isn’t too heavy. One of my life regrets uni-lingual.

I speak a weird English-Spanish-French hybrid but I can get around.
Even just learning the tiniest bit will open doors for you. Respect etc.

Is this “Hobo” sign? I recall watching a documentary on this and thought how fucking cool this is.
Only one I remember was “you can camp here” so if I ever saw it on a walk I’d leave them alone to have peace!
