"One's man cultural protection is discrimination for another." T.C.
I always thought the purpose of the OLF was to promote French (at the expense of English).
We were assured in open and tolerant society like Quebec communities would not be targeted.
So much for that slippery slope not happening. Remember the assault on Chinatown a few years back?
Now it's the Italians it looks like. The 'Pasta' fervor forced the idiots at the OLF to back down but it didn't stop them from hitting up Caffe Conti in Quebec City.
Apparently, carrying an extra 'f' in a word threatens French.
As in, the OLF has forced Conti's to change the Italian spelling of 'Caffe' to 'Cafe.'
Talk about changing the flavor of a restaurant. So now international wording threatens French? Big difference from the fear of English we were fed. How in the world, can anyone demonstrate, this helps the French language? By suppressing other languages this makes French strong? How petty and mad are these people?
Now, remind me, how is this NOT state-sanctioned discrimination again?
It's a shame the place complied because now is the time to confront the OLF. From what I hear, the owner has already spent $20 000 refconforming to the OLF's arbitrary application of Bill 101 (Wal-Mart and Costco is challenging this as they should and as all small-businesses should in a class action suit because it's IMMORAL for the government to force you to spend like this). Furthermore, they have NO RIGHT to infringe on the basic rights of people and their own culture. I don't know of any jurisdiction in the world that goes this far.
It's sad and shows how full of shit the OLF really is.
Quebecers should be embarrassed. Honde. All of us.
Quebecers need to ask one simple question: If the tables were reversed. In the interest of civil liberties, how would they feel?

What's next for the OLF? Censoring blogs? T-shirts?
Don't laugh, they're tyrants and tyrants know no limits as to how they assault civil liberties.
