English Boardgames not allowed In Quebec, by Law? Let's help change this Law
Final supporters
Il existe une loi au Québec (article 54 de la Loi 101) qui empêche les boutiques de vendre des jeux en anglais (à moins que la version française soit disponible).
Cette petition est pour démontrer au gouvernement que le peuple désire un changement. Unissons-nous afin d'atteindre ce but, pour le bien de tous!

There is a Law in Quebec (Article 54 of Law 101) which stops Board Game store from selling English games, unless the French version exists.
This petition is to show the government that the people want change! We need to unite, and finally make those changes happen, for all our sakes!

A thousand names on this list is honestly wild since I remember staring at the screen when it was just me and my friends wondering if anyone else even cared about these rules. People are actually talking about this now and it feels like we might actually get someone to listen to us about board game shelves being empty which is just absurd when you think about it.

I have been reading so many stories from store owners who are just trying to keep their shelves stocked without tripping over bureaucracy and it makes me realize how absurd this whole situation really is. It feels like we are shouting into the void sometimes but then I get another message from a board game lover who is just as frustrated as I am about these outdated rules.

I was just checking the count and we are almost at one hundred signatures which is wild because I really thought this would just be a small thing at first. If everyone who already clicked the button could just drop the link in one group chat or maybe post it on their feed tonight we might actually get some real attention on this ridiculous rule before the weekend hits.

This is not the way to save your language and culture. It's by making sure you family, children, grandchildren keep it going by speaking it at home and reliving stories of the past. It certainly is not by disallowing everybody else's culture. That's how they keep theirs alive.
presque tous les bons jeux ne sont simplement pas offerts en français. C'est la même chose pour les livres et on ne voit pas de censure là dessus. Oui c'est de la censure que d'empêcher les gens d'avoir accès à des jeux en anglais!
If you want Quebec to get back on it's feet economically then we have to put a stop to the OQLF from nit picking at every little thing, all they are doing is driving businesses into bankruptcy or making them leave the Province for somewhere else.
Nous voulons avoir la liberté de nous divertir dans la langue de notre choix. Si ce n'était pas des jeux vidéos et de sociétés, je ne parlerais pas un mots d'anglais aujourd'hui. Il est grand temps de corriger cette loi inutile et injuste. Merci
quebec is a multilingual province. We all understand that learning french is important, but stop imposing the french language on ridiculous things. I am perfectly quadrilingual including french, so i did my part, now stop interfering with my hobby of board gaming
ce n est pas l affaire du Gouv. la langue de vos jeux..totally insane agenda!
When will this finally come to an end, so disturbing and shameful!

Je trouve que ça n'aide aucunement à protéger la langue française au Québec que d'oubliger cette boutique à illiminer des jeux anglophones qui n'existent pas en français. Surtout quand ceux-ci sont des articles de collection.
