See this is my concerns there are some cottege areas that are 80-90% english now if you say all sings must be french and all must speak french who want to work there your going to create all types of issues.
Also, I wonder about your "concern"? Do you live in one of these towns? If not, how far away from them do you live? Do you ever go there or plan on going there?
And what is your level of concern for them compared to the dramatic situation of aboriginals on reserves or in blighted parts of cities like Winnipeg? Or black young men in Toronto who have an alarming rate of death by firearm? Or less dramatically, for francophones in some provinces that still have to go to court to get their constitutional (since 1982) rights to an education in their language respected?

Enquiring minds want to know!
I go to Norway Bay a fair bit and i do know many people that own cotteges there if it came down to it french only signs and you can only get services in french that i don't know how much people there would put up with.

Norway Bay would be in the area I am referring. I am pretty sure signs and services in English aren't a problem there.
My point is if they made the laws so strict that all signs etc have to be in french even there its would create all types of issues.
A separatist is not allowed to acknowledge the fact that English communities exist in Quebec as it ruins their ideal utopia of a French-only, sovereign, pure-laine nation state. They have tried for over 30 years to eliminate all traces of English from public view so they can continue pretending that it doesn't exist and continue perpetrating the myth Quebec is anglicising, even though, for decades, it has been doing the opposite. Even before Bill 101. Even before Confederation.
I think Montreal and quebec was best in the 60s and 70s when it had a balance of french and english but with the communist laws it is in decline but culturally it is so far ahead of the rest of the country I don't think anywhere can touch it for another good 500 years

I think the culture of Canada is pretty much the same from coast to coast the coast. The only parts that are a bit different are Newfoundland and the Inuit areas in the Arctic. We need to bring ourselves together as a nation instead of carving ourselves up.

Not sure I agree. Quebec is certainly more urban and industrialized than Newfoundland, and more go go go. But so are Germany and Brazil. And even Japan.
Newfoundland culture is actually less alien and more accessible to most Canadians than Quebec culture is. People are more likely to know Newfoundland music, comedy, personalities, food, expressions, traditions, quirks than they are similar stuff from Quebec.
Quebec and Nunavut are Level 1 when it comes to being alien from the rest of the country. (Alien is not being used negatively here BTW.)
Ontario and alberta are night and day culturally.
Ontario is big government neo communist central and alberta would never elect the idiots we do in ontario and is practically houston north. They are more conservative politically are mostly decendent of east european low class refugees. Whereas ontario is descendent of north west european upper class people and irish refugees. Ontario is also more elitist and racist. We pay lip service to being pc but albertans are the ones who let in the black cowboys who gave you your cowboy culture when ontario was turning away blacks. Albertans are the one who elect a gay indian mayor in a major city when toronto is half indian but they will never get a mayor as long as there is a white majority here. WASPY are the most racist, they have never been oppressed and cannot see past WASPism. I have gotten into intense arguments with my family who is like this but when they are in public there are no arguments, its not like the movies they find ways to skirt the issue in public.
Quebec is hugely different culturally especially after they booted out the anglos.
the territories are hugely different they are basically native.

I grew up in British Columbia and living out here is like being in another country, sorry, I can't agree!
