It’s difficult to get any meaningful federal government job without being bilingual, so I am going to say it likely won’t happen again for a PM. How can you tell the accountant and secretary that they need to be bilingual, but then say the PM doesn’t need to be? Public schools really need to do a better job producing bilingual citizens in Canada.

Never mind just language and race barrier, Canadian politics is dominated by anyone with British and French heritage. It’s not just that you have to be white, but you have to be the right kind of white.
