I'm seriously disgusted at this law, in fact I hate it.
If they want to sell a products in english OR french then its fine, having BOTH at the same time isn't required.
If some people are too lazy to learn 2 languages then their loss, I don't want laws to prevent some good products to come over here because some people are lazy.
Its even worse in Quebec(Where I unfortunatly live...)
This is totally unacceptable.

I was born in Quebec and always lived here.(French is my first language)
Yet, I hate this Province.
Why you'd ask me?
French
Its not really french the problem, its the people who fight to protect it.
Like that stupid law 101.
Allow me to explain what I mean.
I'm a gamer, I like video games alot but because of the bilingual labelling laws, some great games will not be distributed here.
What's wrong with you people? Is learning english that much difficult?
Are you so much afraid that the main language could become english that you'd be ready to prevent some great products to come over here?
There is no need to have both french AND english label on a products, only one is enough.
If you didn't learn english or don't want to then its your loss, don't go whining around because your lazy.
I think you people need to seriously grow up.
If english becomes the main language then so be it, its not that big of a deal unlike you may think.

To go where? Sure Ontario would be better, but would still have that pointless law.
Anyway Its not about me moving.
Its about a law being put in place because some people are lazy.
You would deprive canada of some great products because a few people are very lazy and/or too conservative?

In twenty years everyone will be so afraid of the Chinese, who will all speak English by then, that bill 101 won't matter.
Come to the Toronto area. There are sections that have almost completely all Chinese signage. The Pacific mall, if they didn't have those little pictures on the doors you'd not be able to find the bathroom. Still the people of Ontario are not drafting draconian laws to outlaw anything but English.
I've never been but I'm quit sure the Vancouver area is the same as Toronto if not more so.
On a realated note. Bi-lingual packaging does actualy create some jobs. You'll also notice that the big multi-nationals are putting French English and Spanish on product they ship North America wide. Quebec may soon loose one of their valuable points of whinnig.

I think that bill 101 is way too much, they shouldn't try to enforce their language on other people.
Quoting eh1eh
Yeah at least in Toronto they don't try to gimp other languages for fun or w/e.
