Looks like we're over the honeymoon phase with our selfie loving Prime Minister
Trudeau answers a question in French!
This article kind of glosses over the fact that an Anglo-Quebecer asked a question in English about what can be done for other Anglo-Quebecer's that need access to mental health services that are only offered in French.
Along with refusing to answer in English, the PM gave a big preamble on how everyone should feel comfortable across the country to use whichever official language they want.
Then again, he was booed for speaking English in Quebec City, so who the fuck knows if he can achieve a favourable situation in that province, language wise…
Ride, don't slide.
Quebec is a special place. Doing anything in English is a lose lose proposition there.
Had he done the reasonable thing - answered the English question about availability of services in English, in English - the Frenchies would be spit roasting him today.
I'm not a fan of Trudeau but he couldn't win that.

Totally. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Temperamental fuckers.
Probably could have answered in both languages.

He has since said that is what he should have done, but still a lose-lose-lose scenario. No matter what he did at the time, someone would have been bent out of shape about it one way or another.
