Absolutely reidulous as the rest of Canada is incorporating French as a second language. The name of the city is Toronto in English and French. I do not see the province of Quebec displaying the Native language names beside the French Name for its Inuit and native communities. Get real!and Work withing our country. Separatism is a dead issue!!!

I hate this province more everyday. I am ashamed to admit that Quebec is where I was born and live. Those sick human beings in government need more to do with thier time than chase down english signs on boxes. Come on really?

I found myself in disbelief here. A surreal feeling that it cannot be real. All quebecers french and english, who allow this abuse to continue to happen our like a victim of an abusive relationship. Same as the people who looked the other way, while the Nazis's did their evil.

I have lived in Europe for years, and as I Canadian, I have witnessed how Holland Sweden and Switzerland deal with creeping bilingualism, they embrace their language without fear. What are the Quebecois so scared of, or is their sense of culture and language so weak it can not withstand the test if openness?.

This is crazy - Quebec is still part of Canada, which is a bilingual country of English AND French.

Get a lawyer, there's no way this will hold up in court. Toronto is spelled the same way in French or English, It didn't say Toronto City, so for all they know it was in French.

This is ridiculous! I thought it was a joke when I read the title... "language police" clearly have way to much time on your hands and too much money to waste on such bull - shit.
