You should really look into the job of coming up with the question on the next referendum.

The question in the poll is incorrectly formulated and should ask what people THINK the official language should be. At the moment by law the official language is French and thus the first answer is the only correct one.

The real bilingual province in Canada is actually New Brunswick, not Quebec. All of the other provinces are single-language, either legally or de facto.

Quebec is French and anyone who thinks otherwise hasn't stepped outside the island of Montreal. A few leftover bilingual communities does not make a province bilingual (in practical terms, of course we all know it is officially unilingual and NB is the only bilingual province).

You have a lot of opinions about places where you apparently have never been and don't really seem to have much knowledge about anyways.

The little French-only facade the PQ has forced upon Montreal is not the real Montreal. They changed the names of our streets, they forced French to predominate on our signs and they've caused the exodus of over 500 000 people (and their tax dollars, too!). Obviously their little plan is fooling some of the more naive tourists/transplants, but don't let it fool you.

Quebec was the bilingual province for the longest time until it passed the nazi language laws. Yes NB is also bilingual.

You know that Montreal and the giant province of Quebec aren't exactly the same thing, right? Do you live here? Have you EVER lived here?
