Quebec needs to fix their roads before their signs.....

Canada is bilingual, Quebec is not. The only bilingual province in Canada is New Brunswick. Roads are the preview of the provinces.

All signs, traffic, retail, parking, etc are in French only, and the use of international common signs have been eliminated. In addition, many of the terms used on signs are Quebec idioms which make no sense to non Quebecers. I grew up in New Brusnwick, was fully bilingual but gave up trying when I couldn't understand Quebec French

So, if Canada is a truly bilingual country, shouldn't the second most common language be Canada's second official language ? Something to ponder about
BTW, I used to be bilingual but I let it lapse..
I find the Quebec language Police have taken things to the absurd....wanting to remove the "redial" word off all telephones... come on..
BTW, love the new Montreal bypass road, highway 30...should have been built years ago...
