Quebec's Signage Laws (Businesses do not get funding by the government…

- - - - Who Is Left Wing
        
        It would not contribute to the progress of the Govt. if tax money was used to pay business owners to change their signs. There are too many factors to give every business owner a satisfactory amount.
  - - - whos first language is not French
        
        It is unfair that I have to pay out of my own pocket to change my sign. The government is forcing me to change it, at least they could give me some financial aid. Some other small businesses may not be able to afford these changes and might even end up with large fines! I don’t see how this is fair for us small business.
  - - - Signs that present businesses in people’s mother tongue languages should not be altered. Just as Quebec is trying to preserve French culture, immigrants are also trying to preserve their cultures in their new homes, and changing these signs is a step in the wrong direction as it makes these businesses less authentic.
  - - - and speak English as a second language
        
        It would be nice for the government to give businesses at least a bit of money to alter their signage. This could encourage some businesses to go beyond the minimum and include more French on their signs.
- - - - Making sure French culture is preserved in Quebec is important for the identify of the province and Canada. The French language is a part of Canadian history; and further integrating the language into the lives of Canadians living in Quebec allows for the unique culture to flourish and continue.
- - - - and are right wing
        
        It is unfair that I must change the sign that defines my business to match government social standards. It is my business that I own and operate and therefore I should be able to choose the language my signage is in.
- - - - Having every sign have significant amounts of French on it allows me to practice my French. I am able to practice both English and French in my new home.
- - - - These changes are not moving forward Canada’s multiculturalism. By soley stating that French be included on the signs is not including other languages that are a new part of Canadian culture such as Punjabi and Mandarin.
