Hairy bunny? I saw one of those once, but my attention was most captured by the pancake on his head
HAIR HARE?? REALLY??
Poly-ev, His great grandfather migrated from France to Saskatchewan.
I think I saw where someone else said that as well but when I did a search, it only said that his ancestry was French-Canadian and that his father was Fransaskois (French-speaking people from Saskatchewan). I assumed that his ancestry probably contained some history of being part of a group that originally moved there from Quebec sometime likely in the 1800s when lots of French fur traders moved west. However, that was just speculation....
If you have details of his great-grandfather moving there from France, I’d be interested in looking at that.
I took a course in how to pronounce hockey goalie names in college.
Interesting guy in that Poilievre is not French Canadian, he is ethnically Irish.
Don’t they teach French in high school anymore?
No negotiations for anything with Canada until after their elections.
Either they call their elections early or every single thing gets held up.
“Interesting guy in that Poilievre is not French Canadian, he is ethnically Irish.”
Between his biological and adoptive parents, he is Irish and French and maybe some other too.

I’ve met a few leftist politicians.. even had a sit down with Joe Lieberman.
What Pierre experienced there is very common. Hope didn’t want anything to do with him at all because he was not in any path to ascension or profit. I watched Pierre introduce himself with respect to both himself and Joe.. and Joe moved on with such a disgust that he made it clear he didn’t care.
What i saw there was very typical of how these elitist madmen think and operate.
Yeah.
I guess I meant not Quebecois.
His adoptive parents are French from Saskatchewan.
Poilievre doesn’t speak French, which I didn’t know.
“His adoptive parents are French from Saskatchewan.
Poilievre doesn’t speak French, which I didn’t know.”
I read that he was immersed in the French language by his adoptive parents, when he was young. Then spoke English for a long time. That he has relearned French, to where he is OK in it.
When he gets elected Canadian PM we will learn more. The Québécois will be sure to critique his French skills.
I wrote that wrong.
He does speak French, which I didn’t know.
Sorry. I’m doing too many things at once.
“..HAIR HARE?? REALLY??...”
Sounds like somthing that chased Jimmuh Caaarter around...LMAO.
On a related theme, Pierre’s wife Anaida really stands out and is a serious asset to her husband... very well spoken, quite lovely, always in good spirits and it always comes across that she and her husband are deeply and madly in love with each other.
It was an interview. From his own mouth and pretty sure theclinh wes upthread.
