That's easy. He publicly doesn't support the ban but when the time comes to vote on repealing it he's too busy serving the folks of Ontario so he's not in the chamber. Then, when it doesn't get unanimous consent because his party is full of racists like Lisa McLeod, he can just shrug and say it went to a vote. He gets to avoid being called a racist by being vocally against it without actually doing anything.

The translation by itself is just dumb, directly translating "For Canada" to "Pour Canada", it should be Pour le Canada, if they had even bothered to use deepl they would have gotten it right.

I guess Pierre here is just representing a proud Canadian tradition, how did I miss this?

https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSBRE90H16V/ - An actual English link
Turns out the maple leaf on the 20$ bill is Norwegian, and was imported here in the 18th century.

quote:

The new polymer $20 bills continue to stir controversy. After merchants complained that the notes were not accepted by vending machines, botanists assert that the maple leaf that appears on the greenbacks is not a Canadian species, but rather a Norwegian one.

The Norwegian maple arrived in Canada in the 18th century. It is said to have been imported by a Philadelphia merchant and used as a decorative tree in gardens. Recently, however, the Norwegian maple leaf has appeared in the official logos of various organizations, such as those of Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario, and the International Football Federation's Under-20 World Cup. association (FIFA).

According to botanists, the Canadian Fund of Telefilm Canada and the Alliance of Natural History Museums of Canada also made the same mistake. Atlantic Canada Conservation Data Center botanist Sean Blaney says he never expected to find a Norwegian maple leaf on the $20 bill . He explains that this maple species is, in fact, considered an invasive species that harms other plants in the east of the country.

The botanist believes that it is not appropriate to find these leaves on a Canadian emblem such as the country's motto.

Did they ever fix this? If I still carried cash I'd check.

This vid was also interesting for a bit of background on how similar slogans were used in the past including senior Trudeau's, there are subs but not in English.



They also had a compilation Pierre saying the slogan over and over until it lost all meaning but can't find a clip of that.

edit: might as well make this a gros bon sens megapost, this vid on the same topic was interesting, you can auto generate English subs if you're brave. Been a week or two since I watched it but if my memory isn't completely failing me, it discusses populism and the appeal to "common sense".

I unfortunately see him on a semi regular basis along with the other fucks strolling down Sparks Street. He's easy to spot because he has a permanent deer in the headlights look in his eyes and when he smiles he looks like Jim Parsons creepy Sheldon smile.
