Au Québec On Parle Francais


It means " In Quebec we speak french". I took this shot at the corner of Mayor and De Bleury Streets on a display showing the new residential building under construction. Only french was written on the board, so I wonder why he wrote it onto that sign ? Who knows... anyway, I liked the message by itself.

Moi aussi, j'aime bien. J'imagine que ça peut être mal pris par l'autre camp, non? En tout cas en Belgique, ça pourrait avoir un petit ton revendicateur un peu trop incendiaire pour certains...

Yeah, I walk past that thing everyday on the way to work. I'm not sure why you say you like this picture. To me it's xenophobic vandalism. A little microcosm of the self destructive tendencies that rendered Montreal into a second rate city after Toronto.

This "protection" of French by the repression or destruction of all other cultures and languages has to stop.
