It's not necessarily that all government employees are required to speak French (for most jobs), but you definitely are picked first if you're bilingual. As far as I know, French is taught in schools in all provinces, even where there is no French community at all. Quebec, you see, insisted Canada be bilingual.
Yet they turn around and go out of their way to prevent English from being taught. And they'll deny being hypocrites about it.

One of my favorite is the expression for standing someone up -> 'to put down a rabbit on someone'. Literal translations are funny.

I have seen lately or observed that in our daily meeting someone starts with " I don't want to finger point and its just an observation that Mr XYZ ( blaming sentence)........... ".
I fail to see how this is not finger pointing? Or the standard line is the new political correctness which creeped in. Because at the end of the Day, it always lead to one guy defending and other opposing it.

"I've got nothing against homosexuals, as long as they keep their hands off me."
I've heard that one too often.
Like every homosexual is a rapist that's into you.
Or perhaps these people are so unsure about their own sexuality that a simple handshake or tap on the shoulder could tip them over the edge

Technically, blaming the blamers is also blaming.
What's so wrong about finger pointing, apart from not being politically correct ? If error culture is established, there is no problem in telling X or Y made a mistake. I am not pissed if someone says I f***ed up, when I f*** up.

That's my point. I would like to know if there is problem and how it was caused and can be rectified.
This silliness sometimes is just too much drama in workplace. For my daily drama I do have my Mrs

Similar to,
I am not going to lie (insert some c***).
In fact (insert something that isn't).

Nah, that's different. I do believe those people, but I am appalled to learn they have been lying all these time until now!

Everything I say is a lie. Always. No exceptions.

No, but I have been there a few times to launch some missiles and had big parties afterwards. Maybe I got infected during one of these visits.

Makes perfect sense to me!
Fuzzy logic makes mince meat of that statement!

Much akin to people who begin their sentence (story) with
1) "Frankly, . . . "
2) "To tell the truth, . . . "
3) "Truth be told, . . . "
So obviously, one must beware of anything they say when not qualified as truthful.

Neither do I, but sometimes credit is due for doing the stupid.

As soon as they say "I don't want to finger point..." just interrupt them, look them in the eyes, and say "then don't".
They'll get the message.
