It's not much, but the Yeti has been on the news and will be shown again in early March. (Will let you know when exactly) If you follow that link and the skip to page 4 of 5, you will see the Yeti on the Alberta french CBC news! And for once, nobody is saying anything bad about the RHD...

Tres Cool, Fred! I caught the bit about: "it's really, really, really cold".

Vive la Tout-Puissant Yeti! Quand j'ai commencé à regarder la vidéo, je pensais qu'il y aurait cette référence obscure à l'Puissant Yeti, pris comme la caméra adoptée par genre de chose ~ bon travail! Je voulais seulement je pouvais comprendre l'entrevue. Viva La Tout-Puissant Yeti et viva Google Translate, eh?

Monsieur Falco (who speckles de Frenchez).

Falco, you're funny! Google translate is not always accurate hehehe.

The reporter did not wanted to talk about the van when we first chat over the phone. But when she came to Banff and saw the Yeti, she just fell in love with it! She kept asking where she could get one like this! So, it turns out that there is a little bit on the Yeti, which is cool! It's going to be shown again next week on another french show on CBC french.

Way cool, you just got promoted to ambassador to la belle province. Maybe TV articles such as this will draw RHD interest with the voting public of Quebec and cause the current government to reconsider their stand on this issue.

Google Translate is often interesting, not sure if you are familiar with a radio programme on the CBC Radio 1 called "Definitely Not The Opera (DNTO)" but they used to have a feature called "Lost In Translation" where they would take the lyrics of a famous song, translate it to Chinese using and on line translator, then translate it back to English and the caller had to guess what famous song it was! A bit like a cryptic crossword puzzle.

Regarding "....So, it turns out that there is a little bit on the Yeti...." ~ Struck me more as the Mighty Yeti was "co-star" of the article. You know there are times that I particularly wish I were fluent in Québécois ~ this would be one of those times. I did catch a little bit from what little I know. Most of what I know from Québécois is what Delicat taught me, like "Church", "Chalice" or "host" ~ words like that.

But in all seriousness, Fred ~ well done. That is impressive footage. Keep us posted on the next showing. I appears that our members who have the name "Fred" tend to have the urge to drive their Delicas to the north of Canada.
