I think most of you forget, its the liberals in power in Québec, linking this with seperatist...
And changing this law, due to the high density of separatist facsist, would be a death sentance. I wonder what the out come would be if the vote went like this...
Yes, signage laws should be abolished and a venue should be allowed to post signage directed at the clientel they wish to attract.
No, signage laws are fine, businesses should be forced to advertise prodominantly en francais, with only minor, to zero non french content.
And have the vote only in non french neighbourhoods, then in french nieghbourhoods, then compare the data.
I think we will see where the facsist mentality lays.
Esso just announced they will not introduce their ''on the run'' program in Quebec.
They will even convert their TMR store back to the ''Marché express'', as it was before.
shannon:
You probably forgot Burger king, Canadian Tires and all other you mentioned never operated under a French name in Quebec. This was (past tense) not the case for Esso as they are operating the C'Store under the ''Marché express' banner.
maybe the little fine print in the law stating that a business can not change from a French to an English trade name for the same operation eluded you? :roll:
Once again, a company has succome to the will of the squealing masses.
Besides Draconian, bearly constitutional laws, what was the offence here?
Why is it that the rest can post signage in the corporate anglais, byt ESSO is held to a different standard?
What purpose does it serve, it is still the same establishment, you still know what you can buy there?
Do you really feel that threatend by this?
Do you really feel that insecure?
Do you have such a lack of respect for your fellow Quebecuois, that you feel they would be lost and not able to figure out where to pay for their gas, because the stores name is en anglais?
ukeright: ?
