    Damn, I’ve heard jokes about quebecios being snobby with their French but that seems excessive

    It’s not snobby. From an anglo perspective, here’s how it plays out in reality:

    WAITER: Qu’est-ce que vous voudrais? ME: Huh? WAITER: What would you like? ME: {proceeds to order}

    …And life goes on.

      I mean that’s fine, but the fact that it’s required under penalty of law is absolutely excessive

      What happened with that change to signage laws that was going to require tens of millions of dollars to update eg “Canadian Tire” to “Magasin Canadian Tire” and whatnot?
