Come to Markham Ontario some time. Almost every plaza, store sign,
business etc. is in Chinese with no French or English - just Chinese.
Everywhere, on everything. Not politically correct to demand it. Try
shopping at the pacific Mall or or the TnT Supermarkets. LOL!! Where
are our "bilingual" laws there? - ... (just in case you're wondering I
don't care - I just find it interesting)

Maybe the law only requires French when English is present, and vice-versa.

What annoys me in my area is the number of restaurants with only Chinese
menus.
