If you travel to Vancouver British, Columbia you will notice all the highway signs are in french and english. You will notice all the packaging for food, candy, beverages are in french and english. You will also find this in Edmonton Alberta, Toronto Ontario, and anywere else in Canada ... except Quebec.
When I visited Quebec for the first time last year I was shocked to see everything in french. No english to be seen anywere. All the highway signs were in French. Most french websites related to Qubec (other than the government site) Do not offer services in english and french.
By law, dosen't Quebec have to put all the signs on the highways, and packaging in french aswell as english?
I live in the US so I don't know too much about how the bilingual thing works in Canada, but I thought if Quebec dosen't bother with the english why would Ontario, Manitoba and other provinces even bother with the french?
