D’après elle, « l’essai de décriminalisation » du gouvernement était voué à l’échec dès le départ.

On a somewhat related note, does anyone know of websites or channels that are less depressing than CBC where I can read, listen to, or watch French content? I recently started using Loops, and the algorithm started suggesting some French accounts. If anyone has any recommendations, I’d really appreciate it.

I was listening to a podcast and the expression « voué aux gemonies » came up! I had to look up what the expression meant, but I at least knew what « voué » meant thanks to you :)
I actually had to look it up myself. That is a very French (nationality) expression and I’m French Canadian…
