Bill C-232 Is Terrible

I've talked about on and off how the Montreal Canadiens hamper themselves with self-imposed language requirements.

Outgoing President Pierre Boivin was quoted as saying as much recently.

It simply restricts your talent pool to choose from.

And now, the NDP, in all their glory, threaten to keep Canada mediocre with Bill C-232 where it would require judges on the Supreme Court to be bilingual.

It's an unfortunate bill on so many levels only the NDP would think it's smart. Language shouldn't be legislated.

Hey, it's all about looking good even if it comes at the expense of excellence. I'm not interested, as a Canadian, in watching a unilingual genius of either divide get overlooked because of some idiotic, restrictive law while giving the job to a lesser person because they happen to say "hello" in two fricken languages. Their job is to interpet and uphold the law. While we're at it, why not make some Native languages official as well?

I loathe this type of mentality.

Loathe it. And it's why I view the NDP with suspicion.

I want the best. They don't.

Simple as that.
