More than 70 missing tweets
Canada's Minister of Canadian Heritage and Multiculturalism tweets about National Aboriginal Languages Day. Will admit to some amusement about him tweeting this in English and French - and only English and French. Would you prefer or rather he hadn't instead the same thing in at least another 701 languages?
Happy National Aboriginal Languages Day! Today we celebrate the more than 70 diverse Indigenous languages in Canada.

Let’s continue to work together to strengthen them with Bill C-91 #iyil2019 https://t.co/GczpEfYRAN

I do find it a bit silly how people count numbers of languages - see, e.g., the recent Danish case - but more than 70 is the number he's chosen to go with. ↩︎
