You laugh but the Quebec government attempted to fine an Italian restaurant for having the names of their dishes in Italian, many of which have no French name.
The Canadian government is pretty weird about that aren’t they?
Quebec government, specifically. Other provinces only require government services to be provided in both French and English but private businesses can mostly do what they want. Quebec requires private business to be conducted in French unless the customer requests service in a different language. Any non-French text or speech made to a customer before they request it can be seen as a violation. They can be a little overzealous at times.
What’s the menu like for Indian restaurants in Quebec? Are there French names for Biryani, Paratha, Paneer etc?
At a certain point I have to assume they just slap a bunch of "le"s on and call it a day
The government eventually said exotic dishes with no French name are allowed as an exception. Looking up menus of Indian places in Montreal shows they have completely Indian names for many of their dishes.
Nope. The Canadian government just sighs and wishes Quebec wouldn’t be such a problem.
French is the dominant language in Quebec?
I’m not sure if this is supposed to be a joke or something, but yes. More than 90% of the people in Quebec speak French. More than 50% speak English, but for most it’s a second language.
No, it was a genuine question. I did not know It was mainly used as a first language in Quebec. I thought it was a semi-common second laguage for Canadians.
No, only in Quebec. There’s a bit of French spoken in Ontario (especially on the border with Quebec), and maybe 30% of the population in New Brunswick, but in other provinces it’s not even the second most spoken language.
For example, Manitoba’s most widely spoken languages are 1M English, 33k Tagalog, 30k Punjabi, 19k German and 15k French.
They’d deport the Taco Bell dog if it was still alive.
Man I forgot how much I loved seeing him in commercials as a kid 🥹
me too, vern
I think I’ll need a bigger box.
Snowflake racist: Burrito is a Mexican word 😭 Chad globalist: Burrito is a human word 😎
Diogenes: Behold a burrito! Holding a calzone
Wouldn’t he be holding a gyro?
Either way it’s era inappropriate by about two thousand years, I thought it’d be funnier if he was holding a calzone.
Agreed, Mexican food is one of the greatest culinary flavor profiles the world has known so far. This guy looks like he sits around eating mayonnaise out of the jar with a spoon. He’s probably just mad that mayo prices went up.
US scientists… Hmmm how about we start with a pure translation “Little Donkey”. Hmm less donkey, we need less donkey!..Little Dunks! How about we drop the little… Just Dunks. “I need a couple of bean and beef dunks please!” How does that sound Bob? Bob, that sounds great Bob!
At this point, I’m not completely sure that this administration has really only appointed the most qualified people for those cabinet positions.
Kakistocracy is the word
I feel like this is fake.
Two reasons. I was unable to find a video clip of this, and it’s not nearly racist enough for these shit-hawks.
If some has the clip, please share.
Edit: 3 reason, we’re also on a shitpost channel.
It’s definitely fake. The screenshot is from around the 4:37 timestamp.
Sadly, it doesn’t matter if he said it when it is entirely reasonable to believe that he did. It isn’t the most racist or the stupidest thing this guy has said on national television.
I mean, third reason, he’s labeled as “Homan” which seems pretty close to Human but just a bit off. And that’s simply too on-the-nose for the topic.
The U.S. government announces that four more words will no longer be permitted for use within scientific documents: Taco, Burrito, Quesadilla and Fajita.
Taco Bell was a cynical invention by Alexander Graham Bell to sell more Bell peppers.
“Mexican”
¡ES ESPAÑOL, MAMAGÜEVO!
How do you say San Diego in Mexican?
That’s a very specific venezuelan insult. Nothing to do with Mexicans
Lo sé, soy venezolano. I used it to remark that Spanish is not just Mexican.
Ah! No! They said Mexican! You and I we both speak that. Don’t you back out on me now!
Como se dice que la chingada en venesolano?
El coño/recoñisimo de su madre, NO JODA
No soy un hispanohablante nativo. ¿Qué significa mamaguevo?
Mama = suck
Guevo = huevos = literally eggs but figuratively means balls
😂 No se enseña en Duolingo.
Necesitamos al Dark Duolingo para enseñarle a todos las buenas majaderías. 👹
(Mama = Suck) + (Güevo->Huevo = Egg/Testicles/Male Genitalia) = Ball Sucker / Dick Sucker
¡Cada día aprendo algo más! ☺️
In " Mexican "…
mt dew Baltimore blast
Baltimore blast sounds like a designer version of naloxone
I find bigotry and stupidity offensive and this guy still gets to say this stupid bigoted shit on television.
Too fucking bad for both of us.
Tbf taco bell is anything but Mexican
considering that english already has a bunch of loan words from spanish that are considered “english”, they same should probably apply to taco bell menu… So are they really “spanish” words in that sense?
Didn’t you hear him, they’re not Spanish words at all, they’re MEXICAN words
/s obviously, screw this guy
Yeah they were selling Tlahco not tacos and Tlālcamohtli not potatoes.
I know I’m not supposed to use the R word as it’s derogatory but for fucks sake, it’s literally the only word that describes this
*Edit: spelling
Republican?
Yup, can’t call them that anymore. Now they are MAGA Nazis.
Associating this man is an insult to the mentally disabled, actually.
Call him a Pakled, that’s allowed.
