Much more important, and interesting for me, was the part that Air Canada must uphold "linguistic rights". Is Air Canada a private company? Or government owned?
"In a 5-2 decision Tuesday, this country’s top court ruled there is no dispute that Air Canada violated Michel and Lynda Thibodeau’s French-language rights during three international flights in 2009. However, the Supreme Court justices found the couple did not qualify for monetary damages.
.......
Though a majority of top court judges ruled that financial compensation wasn’t appropriate in this case, the judgment reaffirmed that linguistic rights “are essential to the survival of our country and they need to be interpreted generously,” lawyer Ron Caza told the Citizen. “That’s huge for us.”
WTF are "linguistic rights" and if Air Canada is a private company, then how can someone force someone else to speak a certain language when serving customers????
