I don't really mind when someone is speaking a different language with their friends or family but if they are trying to talk to me in a different language or have a convosation with me in a different langauge I would try my best to communicate with them.

 @9QQGGYJfrom Ontario  answered…9mos9MO

Wait, they're not speaking English, I wish they were speaking English, then I could eavesdrop on them.

 @9QQDRCVfrom Ontario  answered…9mos9MO

When I hear languages I don't understand, I feel as though anyone can speak their own language as part of freedom of expression, however, I am scared that certain undesirable parts of their cultures may impact Canadian culture.

 @9QQ98DNfrom Ontario  answered…9mos9MO

i don't feel anything, just curiosity as a bilingual myself.

 @9HXQB5Zfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

I feel confused and lost, I feel that way because I do not understand what they are saying

 @9JYLZMWfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

 @9JX6MFJfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

 @9JX6GX2People’sfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

i don't care, they should be able to speak in their foreign language and im a bit jelous, i want to speak more languages

 @9K3DWXCfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

when i hear languages i dont understand i most of the time dont care but something would like to learn it.

 @9JX6JKLPeople’sfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

I feel sort of confused but I respect other peoples languages. This is because my family is from the Philippines and speaks Tagalog, but I do not understand it, so I am used to not understanding languages.

 @9JWKY77Conservativefrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

I don't really care but I think that more money should be spent in welcoming programs and language barrier programs.

 @9JX6MXNfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

I do not feel any sort of way, they are in a free country and have the right to speak and do as they please. It's only when people visiting our country are disrespectful of how we do things is when there is a problem.

 @9JX6KLGfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

I don't think anything I think everyone has the right to express themselves however they want.

CEOs Love Talking About Their Fast-Food Jobs

A stint in fast food is a badge of honor for business leaders who want to be viewed as humble and relatable—and proof that they worked to get where they areBut what does flipping burgers or rolling burritos have to do with running a company?A lot, say high-level managers who’ve done those jobs. Sweating in cramped kitchens and taking orders from hangry diners teach you how to handle pressure and deal with all kinds of people, executives say. Some are eager to find employees who hustled like they did, figuring someone who boxed McNuggets for minimum wage early on isn’t likely to be a quiet quitter.“Any job where you’re on the lowest tier is a really good job to have done in your life because it shows your character,” says Heather McLean, who worked at McDonald’s in high school and is CEO of McLean Forrester, a technology consulting firm in Illinois. “I always took the attitude to bloom where you’re planted so, yeah, I was just taking orders at McDonald’s—but I was really good at it.”Being a model employee is easier when you’ve got bigger and better career prospects ahead. Executives who worked in fast food say they learned empathy and gratitude by toiling alongside colleagues who didn’t have other opportunities and were trying to make a living at or near minimum wage.Fast-food kitchens were long among the few places where future CEOs and low-wage lifers mingled and learned from one another. And because just about everyone orders a burger or pizza now and then, the customer base is a cross section of the American public.

Trump Pivots: "Pease Deal With Iran Now!"

Trump proposes a "Verified Nuclear Peace Agreement" with Iran, expressing preference for diplomacy over military action and calling for immediate negotiations.Despite advocating for diplomacy, Trump simultaneously issued an executive order reinstating his "maximum pressure" sanctions policy from his first administration.The sanctions campaign aims to completely halt Iran's oil exports, particularly focusing on exports to China, which currently receives about 1.7 million barrels per day.Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi responded by calling the maximum pressure strategy a "failed experience" while indicating openness to discussions about their nuclear program.The executive order includes reviewing and potentially rescinding existing sanctions waivers, including those related to the Chabahar port project operated by India.Iranian oil exports had previously dropped from 3 million barrels per day in 2018 to 420,000 barrels per day in December 2019 under Trump's first-term sanctions.Iran currently maintains a "shadow fleet" of oil tankers operating outside Western banking and insurance services to circumvent US restrictions.Oil markets showed limited reaction to Trump's announcement, with Brent crude dropping 1% as traders doubt the ability to completely block Iranian exports.Analysts suggest Iran could become a negotiating tool in US-China trade discussions, with China potentially willing to reduce Iranian oil imports as it modernizes its refining sector.Iranian analysts indicate Tehran would likely reject any agreement attempting to restrict their ballistic missile program, which they consider their primary deterrent.
