He’s fluently bilingual in English and what? French (the other main language of Canada)? Urdu (the main language of Pakistan)? Swahili (the main language of Uganda)? 195.170.118.11 13:51, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

• This is precisely the question I came in here to ask, but I see it's already been asked. I also see that it's not been answered, so I'm going to go try to research and find out. Cfrydj 20:26, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

• • Okay, it was pretty simple to figure out, just by reading his bio on his own website. He took his BA (Political Science) in French at the University of Ottawa, so he is bilingual in English and French. It's safe to assume that he only speaks the two languages, because his bio also refers to him as bilingual, not multilingual. I'll update the page to clarify this point.Cfrydj 20:29, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

People keep reverting to a version that indicates Jaffer was at "another political event" at the time of the infamous radio gaffe. He was actually opening his new coffee shop at the time - as reported in every newspaper the next day, and as seen by those of who know him and witnessed the gruesome events first-hand.

• I've decided to let the radio interview incident comment stand restored in order to avoid an edit war here, but the Latest Accomplishments section comment must stay removed - that was certainly libelous. NorthernFire 23:11, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

• • I doubt it would be considered libelous, if the Hill Times actually printed it. It's probably not worthy of inclusion, though, so I won't object to your decision to remove it. CJCurrie 23:33, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
