I’m three weeks behind on my TV watching so I just caught the Jan. 26 episode of 3600 secondes d’extase, Marc Labrèche’s show on Radio-Canada.
One of the skits involves an anglo pretending to be a francophone who tries to bring a petition to Air Canada to complain about its lack of French language services. It sounds vaguely familiar, though at no point did I throw an used tissue at a store window.
To see the clip, visit the 3600 secondes video vault and scroll down to “Clifford et Air Canada – extrait du 26 janvier 2008.” (That’s the day before my story ran.)

Deeply unfunny. But it reminds me that I actually complained once in the Winnipeg airport about an Air Canada agent making boarding announcements for a flight to Montreal only in English. She didn’t seem to appreciate the sentiment. But I thought it was blow (admittedly small) for francophone dignity and a united Canada.
