Tons - just go into a TnT supermarket and you will be inundated with
Chinese-only labels. I don't have any here in MY cupboard to site for
obvious reasons. ;-)


And the very same items are labeled with both English and French in
British
Columbia and Alberta on the one hand and in only French in Quebec?
Wonder
of wonders! No wonder you Canucks find things so challenging up there!


we have a couple of stores here where everything is chinese
only.....chinese grocery stores....there is an italian place where 90%
of the stuff is direct italian...


Chuckie - of course - misses the key point entirely and goes wandering off
topic chasing after a red herring. Inasmuch as Chuckie needs everything
spelled step by step...he - even with his masters degree - loses focus ever
so easily, as he has here...hold on to your hat as here we go.....

Step one. Hie yourself to any such store in Canada that has an item - any
item - labeled in Chinese only. Markham in Ontario is suggested as one
such locale. The only requirement is that this same item be available in
stores both in Quebec and in British Columbia.

Step two. Take a close look at said item and remember what it is.

Step three. Hie yourself to any store in British Columbia that has this
same item, only the item must now be labeled in English and French....no
Chinese. Got that?

Step four. Finally, hie yourself to any store in Quebec that has this same
item, only now the item must be labeled only in French...no English, no
Chinese. Got that?

Congratulations! Just as I have found the same item labeled in English and
French in British Columbia to be labeled only in French in Quebec, you have
found the same item labeled only in English and French in British Columbia,
only in French in Quebec, and only in Chinese in - say - Markham, Ontario.
And precisely what, Chuckie, might this one exactly same item so variously
labeled be?
