Okay, if not a troll, definitely someone who thought they were going to make a groundbreaking, intellectual thread, but backfired and is now too stubborn to admit that they are a little kooky.

I wouldn't be opposed to a law that required both French and English in equal size, or no size specified, but when you require only French and require that when there is English, that it must be half the size or less of the French text, it is implying that English is the language of "tourists" or "expats" or "guests" in Quebec. This is not the case.

Of course it's a troll. Who but a troll would come here and make demands that affect all our lives, just so he can feel like he's in France?

I started with saying "Bonjour" and "Parlez-Vous Anglais" at least. I mastered few words....
I would be very mad and annoyed if I was greeted with Hello first.
