Okay so why is everything from the Canadian Army news in French.? Most of Canada speaks English.

[CanadianArmyNews]

@beerrunner81 All Army News episodes are bilingual. We create both English and French content that is subtitled in the other language.

@CanadianArmyNews: How does that work then, that QC's language is French and other provinces are English? Do they have separate units for the French speakers, or is it a requirement to be bilingual?

[CanadianArmyNews]

@1brandon504 Yes, Quebec's official language is French, and Canada as a whole is a bilingual nation (French and English). The language requirement varies depending on your position, and different regiments also have different language specifications. For more information, please contact your local recruiting office.

@AcruxSolus "the Canadians learned and still learn all of their tactics directly from American units." full of more America bullshit I see

[RealLy96]

You know... all that once fired brass could generate a secondary income for the Forces if resold to gun owners... just say'n ;)

@jolamouche23 I know you said this a month ago but I feel I should answer regardless.

Most Canadians outside of Quebec don't speak French well because there aren't many instances where it is required. Here in southern Ontario I have yet to be required to ever once speak French outside of school when I was young. Most people don't have nothing wrong with French it's just that we never have a reason to speak it. And hey, people complain on the internet about everything.

[AcruxSolus]

@JBLAKIE1 "National Language" is irrelevant - the Language of Use in the US Military is ENGLISH, whether it be in Puerto Rico or Georgia. All Units must conduct military business in English. As for "efficiency", the Canadians learned and still learn all of their tactics directly from American units.

You lot left the French Canadians behind for D-Day, right? If not, I take it they were the only units to retreat? Joking Cheers from you neighbors below.

I wonder does that Canadian M16 version needs to be cleaned like crazy like the M4? I mean Canadians fight in the winter and dirty places like the Russians.
