Actually, Gaelic is their first language. But modern Irish people are awfully uppity these days.

Is Canada enforcing this for m*slims? Is babyface Trudeau giving his best buddies a free pass?

It’s silly to complain about such a simple test and the expense is fairly minor. Government run education has declined in quality in all the English speaking countries. So having a test for English proficiency is not without merit.

Young Irish immigrants in Canada have expressed their annoyance at being forced to undertake an English-proficiency test, despite English being their first language, when applying for Canadian permanent resident status.

They don't learn Gaelic anymore?

Considering EU immigration policies, you can’t count on anyone from any European country to be able to speak the native language. Just take the test and be done with it. It’s not difficult like a Scotsman trying to speak English. :-)

That’s really racist!

Do the Canutes apply the same strict standards to Scots, people from Wales or any of the 29 dialects of Britain?

Tell them to get over. They will ace it, I would assume.

My senior year, I had a great English Teacher here in heartland America.

One of her favorite comments was: The English, Canadians, Scots, Irish, Australians, New Zealanders and Americans, a common people separated by an uncommon language, English!

Shouldn’t be too difficult...as long as they remember that all sentences end in “eh?”.

Reminds me of Mexican Anchor Babies taking Spanish 101 in High School, getting a C- Grade and blaming the Teacher.
