For Canadians?

Doesn't seem a tad unfair that the roadsigns in other provinces have to be bilingual except for Quebec?
Additional Details
I didn't say I coudn't read them or undestand them. I asked if you thought it was unfair.

Yes I agree....it's unfair

English and French are the official languages of Canada and have equality of status and equal rights and privileges as to their use in all institutions of the Parliament and government of Canada


CanProf
Most roadsigns in other provinces are not in fact in two languages. Actually, most roadsigns everywhere consist of internationally recognized images, not words in any language.

I agree and I live in Québec.

No: If you can't read the signs you shouldn't be driving. I have driven across America..through Europe and a lot of the Middle East..I always check out the signage before I start the car...Not rocket science as most important signs are universal. I live in Bobcaygeon Ont. and nothing but English signs for miles and miles.


JorgeRom
Yes, it does seem unfair. If this is a bilingual country, then signs should be in both languages in all of the country.

I got out of a parking ticket arguing that the parking meter should have been not only in French, but English also--sent the ticket back to Hull, Quebec and never heard anything about it again. Yes, it's unfair.

call it whatever you want. in the english zones of qc it is written only in english, in the bilingual zone it is written in both and in the french part its in french.
same as in other provinces no?
ive been to new brunswick where everything was bilingual, but then in PEI there was almost all english.

As for Nova Scotia, the only places I've visited that have bi-lingual signs are the Acadian Villages (Church Point, and in and around Yarmouth areas). Everywhere else, the sign are fully English.

I hate it. Seeing how much tourisim NS gets, you'd think the signs would be in both OFFICIAL languages.

well I'm in Quebec and yes we should have both language...

If your going to get into language issues with Quebec, everything is biased towards the French language. That happens when your province isn't bilingual - French is the only official language of Quebec.
