Quebec’s language police say a Chelsea store owner’s English Facebook posts violate the province’s language laws, but she argues that the provisions don’t cover social media.
Eva Cooper, owner of clothing shop Delilah (in the Parc), received a letter on Feb. 18 from the Office quebecois de la langue francaise saying it received a complaint that she was not posting to the store’s Facebook page in French.
Some of Cooper’s posts to her store’s Facebook page are in French or bilingual, but most are in English.
Val says - The Canadian friends renting our gite have told us of these language problems in Quebec and then I found this example in the newspapers.
I smiled at the idea of "language police" - can you imagine me getting a letter asking that TAG should be totally in French?
