I'm not Canadian, but I think this is satire, not real news. The beaverton is a onion like site, correct?

[–] streetfestival@lemmy.ca 35 points 1 day ago

Yes. Beaverton is the Canadian version of the Onion

I hope they throw the book at these assholes than one in French too.

[–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca -2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I think there's something like 3 books written in French. Which one you mean?

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world -2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

The heaviest one no one can read French anyways.

[–] DerisionConsulting@lemmy.ca 6 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

A) The heaviest no one can read; French anyways.

Throw the heaviest illegible book, but continue to open-mouth kiss?

B)The heaviest no. one can read; French anyways.

Throw the heaviest legible volume in a set, but continue to open-mouth kiss?

C) The heaviest. No one can read, French anyways.

Throw the heaviest book in existence, and open-mouth kiss despite rampant illiteracy?

Cormac McCarthy disapproves of those ugly useless marks.

You know it's satire because it would could not be the RCMP, it would be the OQLF.

Yes, let’s keep dividing the country and attacking Quebec, the province who massively voted to not go full retard with the conservatives.

I'm with you aspirationally but this is just a beaverton benign joke on language purists, nothing to be so angry about
