Sugar Sammy on Air Canada CEO Michael Rousseau & other unilingual Montreal Anglos

In light of the controversy over Air Canada CEO Michael Rousseau claiming that he’s been able to live in Montreal for 14 years without speaking or learning French, Montreal comedian Sugar Sammy has shared a couple of videos from his shows where he pokes fun at the city’s unilingual Anglos.

In a video taken at his secret show last night, Sugar Sammy had some words for an audience member from Rivière-des-Prairies claiming to only know “a little” French.

“You speak no French? You can’t live like that in Montreal, bro. What do you want to be? The President of Air Canada?”

In another video, Sammy shakes his head at people in the audience claiming to only know English, accusing them of never leaving the West Island. He also has some comments about Vaudreuil and Lachine.

Sugar Sammy shared the video, saying, “If you need someone to hunt down unilingual Anglos, I’m your man!”

Si vous avez besoin de quelqu’un pour faire la chasse aux unilingues anglos, I’m your man !
