Dion vs. Harper: second language

Hardly surprising, Harper speaks better French than Dion does English.

I can vouch for this, as je suis bilingue. Actually, 2 and a half languages, but that's beside the point.

Harper's French is hardly perfect, but he certainly is comfortable using it. I don't know that I could say the same about Dion with respect to English.

I haven't seen much recently in the way of Dion mangling the language, though. Either a) he's spending more time with his tutor, b) he's saying less whilst in the spotlight, or c) the media are doing a better job of cleaning up his speech. I suspect it's a combination of all three.
