This has to be a belated April Fool's joke. I am encouraging all my children to leave Quebec, selling up and moving out.Have had enough of being discriminated against.

How sad that we live in a province as narrow minded as this. We just have to look around the world to see how privileged we are - both English and French.

The Canadian official is absolutely preposterous to expect this animal to adhere to the French Canadian regulations. To move her from her environment will traumatize her.

Bouton should stay in montreal:) although she only speaks english she is wonderful to see and a great attraction for families and tourists of many different nationalities. The fact that she does not speak french and might be moved to toronto is ridiculous. This makes french canadiens look like real idiots that have no respect for Boutons home, life and well being. Even though she would be in a safe environement in toronto, she might be home sick at first.

If Bouton prodominatly speaks English is is oly a byproduct of the volume of visitors speaking English. Do not fire him for providing an excellent visitor experience and good customer service! Learn from him!! Lighten up people!

Traumatizing the bird to placate Francophiles is ridiculous and cruel. Who bloody cares if the Macaw speaks more English than French? Seriously, folks?
