I love how she pronounced Poutine.
Like Poo-Tin. For English speakers it’s Poo-Teen. She is trying to be some exotic French Canadian 10 when she is really the shit stain of the province of Ontario; and believe me that is a pretty low bar.
This may be PL but : I’m french canadian. I can confirm she pronounces poutine like an english canadian trying to imitate french. That doesn’t mean she’s not bilingual; if english is her first language and she learned french later in life, she’ll have an accent, which is perfectly fine (and even sexy if you happen not to be a behemoth).
But.
I remember she tried to explain, last summer, a french expression that I unfortunately can’t remember but it made it obvious she doesn’t speak french besides a few words she probably learned from Bibi. First, she tried to translate the expression word for word, completely missing the 2nd degree of it... a bit like Google Translate would.
Second, there is one word she pronounced like an european. European frenchs such as in France, Belgium and Switzerland are differents-but-quite-the-same when compared to canadian french, which is very distinctive. It’s like comparing american and british english, or so. French african countries have their own accents of course, but their accents are much, much closer to the european one, thanks to residual colonialism. This is why I believe the little french she knows, she learned from Bibi, aka very recently, aka she’s not bilingual or pseudo-french one bit. As usual, she lies.
tl;dr : When it comes to french, Chantal is just a 400lbs parrot.
