+Mark T Sorry, but driver licences are under provincial jurisdiction, and niqabs are allowed in many provinces. Turns out my scenario is valid, but your rebutal isn't.
+Asdaw W. You might have a point if you used a valid scenario. Niqabs are banned for drivers licence photos.You could wear a batman costume all you like so long as you remove the mask.
+Mark T Here's a hint: it's about people putting on a ridiculous costume and then pretending some sort of voodoo schtick we all know isn't real is preventing them from taking it off.
Why do none of the parties touch the issue of euthanasia? I thought the
deadline was Feb 6/16 to come to a decision. Shouldn't we be talking about
this?
outside of quebec, there arent many french (as a first language) speaking
people, and quebec doesnt even want to be part of canada, so phoque french
as a second language :P
i dont need or want any leaders, but its not like canada will listen to me,
so i AT LEAST want to be able to understand them when they debate, E N G L
I S H, there's more than one reason why the whole world speaks it, its just
simply superior
everyone (at least where i live) is taught french in schools, well, to a minor extent. its just that english is being spoken around the world more and more every year, and english has gone through numerous evolutions, revolutions and assimilations (including many european languages) over the centuries, to me it just seems a more comprehensive, capable language.
+Dust I know that this is not their intention. They are isolationists. I know the policy of Canada, you know, and I know how they did to go against the independantism in Quebec. But what I'm seeing now is a reversal of the real situation (even the Québécois don't see that because they fear the english wave). The canadian society becomes more and more french every single day. You know, there are things which don't lie. A french influenced culture acts like France when it comes to welfare for instance. The english culture is against and push the capitalism everywhere (like the US or the UK). The french community in Québec push the welfare like no one in Canada because of this french culture. And more and more in Canada people are for the welfare. It's a cultural reversal which comes with the french culture. I can explain why but I don't speak english so well to explain such a complex idea.
Forcing Canada to learn French was never the québécois's intention in the first place. It's actually a tactic that was used by the canadian government to go against the independance movement in Quebec. It would take a while to explain though.+Doney Hon
+superllama666 As a french spectator of that, for me, it's a really interesting to see. It's like: How a small community in a huge country resisted against the english power and obliged a whole country to learn its language after a war lost centuries ago. And if it continues the french language will become more and more powerful and the english language less and less powerful in Canada. You will see the capital changing of language generations after generations. And when a capital changes its language, the country follows. So, as a foreigner I'm amazed about the québécois. They fear for their language but at the same time they are winning the game in the whole Canada. I can just be proud of them as a french but I can understand how angry are the english speakers in Canada.
+superllama666 You will enjoy 20 new years of bilinguism where federal jobs will require french so schools will provide french everywhere and... it's fantastic for me as a french. ;)
+Dust lol how can you extrapolate "i hate quebec and those who live there" from what i've said, and how could you know if it was unwarranted? have you lived in quebec as an anglophone? (i bet not)the history of english is very complex, and in the end yes england (and area) are the result of much variation and assimilation, much much more than some other languages like korean for example.you call me "extremely ignorant" because you just don't understand other languages and how they form sentences, in reality it is you who are extremely ignorant on other languages and on much more we shan't discuss, but aren't we all extremely ignorant?
+superllama666 English is dominant across the world because of England's, and later on USA's statuses as superpowers. It has nothing to do with the nature of the language. Unless you're refering to languages spoken by like 1000 people, saying something like '' when i look at other languages, alot of the time they seem very primitive, "me go here, do this" ' make you look extremely ignorant. It's obvious you hold unwarranted hatred towards Quebec and its citizen.
+Kévin Bouchard why would i go to quebec, you people don't even speak real french and most of you are petty assholes too.english is being spoken around the world by most countries and that is a sign of its dominance, when i look at other languages, alot of the time they seem very primitive, "me go here, do this" from an english perspective, french is backwards, half the letters being silent, while sharing roots with english through latin. saying "historical events" is almost the most vague thing you could have said and i can convey more in english than in french, its got dumb sexist vocabulary rules too!the video was about the french debates, and how they're pointless being in french, speak english ffs, nobody can understand you
+superllama666 Come in Quebec and say that to everyone. Separatist movement will love you. BTW, on a purely technical standpoint French is actually a more evolved language than English. English is not dominant because of its superiority but because of historical events.
History of the French Language
From where did the French language originate? How did it get where it was today? This Canape program interviews author Jean-Benoit Nadeau about his book ...
French is a great language, blah blah, lots of people speak French, blah
blah, French is a great language... I don't care if it's great or not, I
clicked on this video to find out how it (de)evolved. I want to know how
intelligent people decided to morph their language into something that uses
an alphabet, but ignores half of the letters in each word. I understand
how English got messed up, many foreign words were taken in and not given a
formal spelling overhaul. What is the excuse for French?
+gregory brian Yes, English is not completely consistent. But trying to make French look better by comparing it to English is like saying Einstein had trouble remembering his house keys makes the mistakes of an imbecile more acceptable.
+deezynar When scribes began to record French, they used the Latin model, which meant that even though a word was spoken without sounding a letter, the letter was still written. It was not based so much on the way words were spoken but how they fit into a Latin "container."To ask the same of English, why do many English speakers refuse to pronounce the "t" in words like "button" or "Britain?" At some point, someone may ask why the "t" is written but not pronounced. Think about the word "through." It sounds like "threw." Or the word "rough," which sounds like "ruf." Why don't we always write them like they sound or pronounce them the way they are written?
French is a substratum from vulgar latin spoken by popular class from Roman Empire settled down in Gaulle whose language was a Celtic one. When this Empire crashed down invasions from Germanic conquerors, the Francs, brought a new Empire but their Germanic language had to get mixed very slowly with vulgar Latin spoken to get trust of "french people" and because Latin brought a lot of innovations (administration, laws, rules ...), so laws and religion were written in Latin and Francs converted into Christianism.After some centuries Francs' language and Latin got mixed to produce "old French" that will evolve again and again through out centuries.

I am very passionate to learn different languages and want to be able to
speak french fluently , i have searching for means for that and somehow i
ended up here and only thing i find troublesome is , the videos are
extremely lengthy also you jump from one lesson to another, i don't
understand where to use those Accents that i just learned, like i need more
examples to what , why and how! please don't take it personal i m eager to
know more and more, need more help than i can get.
The units follow the topics that we normally see when we Learn French from 0. Regarding the accents, like in other languages, you just need to learn them and know if they are there or not. In some cases, you can find a logic or an explanation (transformation of ancient French to modern French) but in most of the cases you don't and you just need to learn the accent and the gender of the word each time you encounter a new word. I made some videos covering that topics. :)
+Eda Bozkurt Try your best...it is only a language, and a language is a tool...many ways to use it and you can be creative and use it in your own manner. :)
The tutor does not say the English meaning of the words in maximum cases..
So over all its a good effort tutorial ... Its good to learn how to make
the pronunciation mainly rather than learning new sentences and words...
This could have been a very good tutorial...
+Ajoy Chatterjee If you want automatic translation, there are series on the channel that do that, if you want to focus on the pronunciation, there are some series on the channel that do that. Use the search engine of the channel and you'll discover some nice things :)

gosh, geneva is swiss, so what is that to do with the european union? and
with significant coastal boundaries, france has been nothing like poland
(which was swallowed up after 3 partitions) since the days of the black
prince. the usa's borders have changed more in the last 200 years for sure:
war with mexico, britain, and the alaska purchase. still, for beginners who
know little better, an entertaining talk. and yes, england is part of
britain...
Maybe the Professor meant how was the History of France and Poland before the Renaissance, up to the end of the Middle Ages. After that time France became very powerful and Poland a weakling.
