My husband's grandfather moved from Quebec to the United States soon after he married his American bride. He was so proud of his American citizenship, he refused to speak anything other than English. The only problem with that resolution was that, at first, he only knew about 5 words. He made it work, though, and he quickly learned the language. His stubbornness shaped the opinions of his children - a bit too much.
Perhaps this politician's background is similar?
