'Blow up myths about the English-speaking community' | The Corner Booth

'Blow up myths about the English-speaking community' | The Corner Booth

When there’s a complaint about languages in this country, it often lands on Raymond Théberge’s desk.


As the commissioner of Official Languages of Canada since 2018, Théberge is tasked with protecting language rights, both English and French, in federal institutions. He joined hosts Bill Brownstein and Aaron Rand on this week’s episode of The Corner Booth at the Snowdon Deli to talk about support for bilingualism across the country and how to build bridges with linguistic communities in Quebec.


A good example of the types of complaints Official Languages of Canada might receive was the double whammy in 2021-2022 of two high-profile Canadians — Governor General Mary Simon and Air Canada CEO Michael Rousseau — and their inability to speak French.
