I took a good bit of Spanish too. I am equally bad at that as I am French.

Dating a Peuro Rican for a while helped with the Spanish, she loved to talk in Spanish about me while I was in the room lol.

Spanish has never appealed to me.

I rate Italian as the most lyrical European language.

I was semi familiarized with Italian on account of some business associated I had. I found it semi easy to pick up and understand to some degree, much like Spanish I'd say. I also did some business with some Germans and found it completely unintelligible.

Not even close. Being able to sort of get by does not mean I can write it, or speak it, I just stumble through like the retard I am. By all measures I am probably below average even in my native language.

Since apparently going after handguns wasn't enough, there is now talk of internet regulation in Canada:

https://canadiandimension.com/articles/view/canada-may-be-headed-down-a-slippery-slope-of-internet-regulation

Quote:

Bill C-18, which will have to go over to the fall session of Parliament since the kerfuffle over Bill C-11 has taken up so much of the lower chamber’s time, would give the CRTC oversight of online news, which its critics and even former leaders claim it is unqualified to handle. It would also divvy up the loot that Google and Facebook will be ordered to pay Canadian media outlets for carrying links to their news stories. That is, of course, unless Google and Facebook decide to stop carrying such links, as the former did for years in Spain and the latter did briefly in Australia after similar legislation was enacted there recently.

The problem with putting bureaucrats such as CRTC Chairman Ian Scott in charge of regulating the Internet is that they were long ago captured by the vested interests they are supposed to oversee. Scott, for example, was spotted having a friendly beer at an Ottawa pub a while back with the CEO of Bell Canada, which records annual profits of $10 billion or so. The CRTC then shockingly reversed its earlier decision lowering wholesale Internet rates, much to the benefit of Bell and the handful of other big telecom companies which dominate the industry. With regulators like this, is it any wonder Canadians pay among the highest rates in the world for cable, Internet, and cell service?

Most worrying of all may be Ottawa’s pending “online harms” legislation, which would reportedly force tech companies to take down flagged content within 24 hours. Its critics claim it would enable the government to “silence dissenting Canadian voices online.” The content could include disinformation such as “fake news,” online abuse, hate speech, deceptive advertising or even just misleading political communication. A new “digital safety commissioner” would reportedly enforce the legislation, which would also apparently give CSIS expanded powers to obtain subscriber information from companies, while online platforms may also be required to report suspect posts to police and security services. The implications are Orwellian.





Canada seems to be following in the footsteps of certain parts of Europe and down the slippery slope of authoritarianism..
