OUCH!

If there was only one FA who spoke the same language as the passenger in the exit row and all other FA spoke both or at least one of Canada's offcial lanaguages or both, BUT not the lanaguage of the passenger in the exit row.....I would be worried

In Canada its English or Francais if not both so the majority of passengers would fall under one of not both of these headings, I would rather bet my safety or life on one or both of Canada's language and not hedge my bet that the one FA on the aircraft would be the one that could communicate with the passenger holding my safety and life in their hands!

Mind you, English, French, Spanish, what ever if we evacuate and your not moving fast enough I am picking you up and throwing you out the door with me anyways
