    Did you hear about the Language Police in Quebec?

    Just in case you haven't heard the latest bullshit these prices are up to..



    PastaGate: Buonanotte Restaurant In Quebec Targeted For Too Many Italian Words On Menu.

    Buonanotte restaurant, located in French-speaking Quebec, Canada, recently came under fire for using the words "pasta" and "calamari" on its menu, reports CBC. The reason? The words aren't paired with French translations on the menu, and that's a problem for Quebec's office of French language (OQLF).
    Source : http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/0...n_2733933.html


    Language cops spark furor after Canadian restaurant told 'pasta' should be in French

    It all started when the Office Québécois de la langue française, which enforces the province's strict rules that French be the predominant language, investigated a citizen complaint against the Italian restaurant Buonanotte in Montreal.
    Owner Massimo Lecas, who's hosted such A-listers as Céline Dion, Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro in his eatery, claimed that the Italian words such as "pasta," "antipasti," and "calamari"--among others--should all have a French translation on the menu.

    These fuckers have been at it for years and they still won't stop. I'd so love to meet one of these language cops and tell him off - in English. (I know he'd understand me).

                  This is the ONLY thing that stinks up this beautiful Province that is part of a beautiful country.

                  Marois will be catching lots of heat on this and hope people realize their mistake for electing the crazy ass bitch.

                    Most of the people comming forward are talking about events that happened during Charest's reign... It's has nothing to do specifically with her.

                          Do they think "pasta" is English or do they want a French version for everything; even if it was 炒面

                              I think the easy solution would be to move your business somewhere without ridiculous laws.

                                        No - you're Parisian! ew!!!!!

                                        Having a French Canadian lastname, Benoît (pronounced ben-waa, like the balls) I've found the French we learn in Toronto schools isn't even acceptable. When I went to Gatineau and tried out my French with the Parisian accent I was taught in school - no one would speak French with me. After hearing me, they'd say "I speak English" lol.
