Carney posted a question on Tuesday’s campaign in Windsor on Wednesday morning, repeatedly misspelling the 1989 Ecole Polytechnique massacre, twice referring to liberal candidates, and shooting survivor Nathalie Provost as “Nathalie Pronovost” and pronounced the shooting at Concordia University.
“Natalie Pronovost became a social justiceist out of the tragedy of the shooting in Concordia, and she raised her hand and she was running for us,” Carney said in Nova Scotia.
On December 6, 1989, a gunman murdered 14 women in Ecole Polytechnique and later killed himself.
When asked in French whether his mistake meant he didn’t know Quebec, Carney said it wasn’t – asserting that his Frenchman wasn’t perfect, but enough.

The Frenchman of the leader Carney was under French scrutiny during liberal debate
He said in French: “I spent more time leading the competition in the Quebec competition.” Beautiful province.
He continued: “Of course, I’m not Quebec, not everyone is from Quebec.”
“I’m from Alberta, I was born in the north and I’m very good at French but not perfect.”
Carney does feel sorry for Tuesday’s comments.
“I’m sorry I missed yesterday.”
“The horrors of the massacre held on December 6 at Ecole Polytechnique are still with us and the courses are still fully learned.”

Carney’s poor French skills have won a lot of criticism, especially when his campaign vetoed the liberal leader’s claim that he would appear in a TVA-television French debate.
An obvious Carney struggled to answer reporters’ questions in French, turning to the middle English sentence.
During the leadership of the competition, Carney was forced to correct the candidate after he said “we agree to Hamas” instead of saying that he agreed that the Palestinian terrorist group did not include peace talks, and that he was forced to correct the candidate.
Carney will appear in the official debate in English and French in mid-April.
The liberal leader announced a $20 billion plan in Windsor to deposit a trade war on Canadian President Donald Trump. The plan includes adding Canadian auto parts and leveraging government investment in Canadian-made cars.
