I've been trying to get this show done for 20 years. And now we have. English and French on the same show, and not in their two solitudes. Please watch on March 20. And yes, we'll have subtitles of the other #language.
TVO and @TFO_Ontario are coming together for a first-of-its-kind bilingual special exploring Canada’s Francophone and Anglophone communities.

Guests include Yann Martel (Life of Pi), columnist @TashaKheiriddin, and academics @DrSChouinard and Serge Dupuis.
Watch on March 20 at 8 pm & 11 pm! #InternationalDayOfFrancophonie
