Quelle surprise.
Little upside for him. Lot's of downside.
I'm disappointed that he is being judged so harshly on the quality of his French. It might not be up to usual standards at present, but knowing his character, I'm sure that it will improve.
As apposed to Blaine Higgs in NB who gave a promise to learn French, and apparently tried to do his best, but gave up after a year of futility. Blaine had no previous experience, and was trying to learn the language in his 60s, which is always difficult.
Carney has had little need for French over the last decade and is rusty, but, I think it will rapidly improve.
