Trump-Lite Hubris: Official Languages and Immigration Policies

trump-lite hubris: For this country to hold together, the prime minister must speak both official languages fluently, according to The Waterloo Record. Three out of four Canadians agree, according to a 2016 survey from the commissioner of official languages. It's not a legal requirement, but it is a political one. So don't worry about the Trump-lite hubris of TV host Kevin O'Leary, or the questionable immigration policies of Kellie Leitch. If the leader speaks only English, Quebec will turn its back and the Tories will lose. Neither one of them is going to get near the leadership, if the federal Conservative party is in its right mind, because they can't speak French well enough. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
