MODERATORS
If they were born and have lived in Quebec all their lives then they can get any service they want in English, by law.
What's their excuse to not know French at this point, right? Hell, Anglo Quebecois is the group that declares itself the most bilingual at something like 88%! Don't tell me it's hard to learn or hard to practice or any of that bullshit. I come from a region where 2% of the population speaks English first and I have top level bilingual ratings at my job.
Signage and menus need to be in French first, that's it, you can have any other language on them as long as French is the most prominent.
It's funny how Anglos are all about helping minorities and guilt trips about colonization EXCEPT for the French Canadian minority.
Look at how Anglo Canadians were flipping out about Cantonese/Mandarin signage in BC not too long ago but if Quebec does something to prevent it becoming (more of) an issue then they're flipping out about Quebec oppressing minorities.
Hell, am I not accommodating you by not replying in French even though it's my first language and we're in a bilingual country. It's the default experience for French Canadians whenever there's an Anglo Canadian around, even bilingual ones.
