On a linguistic level, the claim that Trudeau doesn't speak French well is simply untrue, Bosworth said in an interview Wednesday. Yulia Bosworth, Binghamton UniversityMoreover, Trudeau speaks French with virtually no accent, she said, and sounds like a regular Quebecer. Bosworth studied hours of the younger Trudeau speaking French in public appearances across Canada and in France. Instead, the media elite in Quebec describe his French as "incomprehensible," "limp," "snobbish," and "jarring to the native ear." This "ideological misalignment," Bosworth argues, "plays a crucial role in fostering a collective denial of Quebecois identity to Justin Trudeau."
