Our CBC, funded with Canadians’ tax money, does not hesitate one second to publish articles defaming professors to intimidate them. However, it pretends to be too delicate when it comes to using English words or expressions like “a mother tongue“. What is the purpose of this new ban? And when will all this absurdity end?
To conclude this short post on political correctness pushed to absurd levels, Bambi would like to thank Mr. Kay again for his tweet. If she may, she would like to end with Mr. Georges Moustaki’s beautiful song “Ma liberté” sub-titled in English. It will be followed by the wonderful interpretation of this song by Ms. Chimène Badi. She does not know about you, but she cannot listen to this superb French song without thinking of freedom of thought and of expression, not just freedom to be ourselves like in the song.
What was the original article about? Because Suzuki music’s founding philosophy is really quite fascinating (that’s how I learned). It comes down to basically instructing music in a way very similar to learning a language at a young age. https://archive.org/details/nurturedbylovecl00suzu
Thank you Bloo for sharing the link and your insights. Bambi is very curious now. She will read more about it to learn!
How foolish of the CBC and doubtless the result of more left-wing politics. I join with Mandy Patinkin in celebrating ”Mamaloshen” — ”mother tongue” in Yiddish and offer to Bambi’s readers a listen to this album that Bambi sampled at my Montreal party nearly 20 years ago.

Bambi thanks you Fred for bringing back those wonderful and deeply meaningful old memories of your birthday!
Listened to the whole album this evening. It’s still beautiful as ever and though it’s not my mother tongue, I feel it in my blood anyway and it does include the lullaby my dad sang to me when I was a tiny kid. Hopefully the woke won’t see a connection (or intersectionality) between self expression and genetics and become deeply offended. Anyway, let’s all keep our mother tongues; I’m keeping mine. 🙂
Why is this woke garbage funded by my taxes?
Defund the CBC! There’s a campaign that I’ll happily rally behind!
