Poilievre Visits Island Formerly Known as Prince

CBC reporter Kate McKenna: "Pierre Poilievre got the name of PEI wrong in French several times. He called it the "Île de Saint Édouard" in French. It's Île-du-Prince-Édouard.” https://twitter.com/katemckenna8/status/1691863030437474523  This post represents substance-free teasing with no malice intended.  My own French skills are terrible – far below Mr. Poilievre’s quite good French. I am well aware how easy it is to go wrong speaking in a tongue other than mother’s.  That said, the CBC report prompted a quiet smile during these dog days of August.
