if a single word can "cause a real québécois to forget the entirety of his language and heritage", then how strong is his connection with his roots, really. Such a blatant display of insecurity in your own culture. If you can't uphold your own culture within yourself, then maybe think about how much it actually means to you

ridiculous, disgusting, idiotic, does not make sense. Toronto is Toronto, in English or French

I can't believe they would state that even one English word can cause a real québécois to forget the entirety of his language and heritage. That's not saying much for the intellingence of a Quebecois!

this is unfair, and ludicrous. Montreal is a bilingual city, accept the facts.

I have never heard or read anywhere, that there was a way to write a Canadian city in French by adding "Ville de" in front of it. So I'm sure this family and the rest of Quebec would find this to be news, given they heard about this story. If you want a fine like this to be taken seriously, the city needs to make the correct effort to inform the residence of the city, by placing flyers with income tax return, or by other efforts. Until then this fine should be dropped.
