Montreal bylaw requires dogs understand commands in both official languages
UPDATE: Councilor LaDouce is amending his bilingual dog bylaw, and believes Montreal dog parks should be language-free. Pat Kelly spoke with him to learn more.
Earlier this week, Montreal city councilor Benoit LaDouce proposed a bylaw that would require all dogs in public parks to be bi-lingual. According to Mr. LaDouce, "Dogs parks in our city are chaotic and communication is at the heart of the conflict." In his mind, K9/citizen relations would be more harmonious if dogs in public spaces understood commands in both English and French.
Earlier today Pat Kelly spoke with Mr. LaDouce to find out more.

I am not sure if there is an actual law requiring it. But all street signs and signs at businesses are required to be bilingual and business is to be transacted in either language. Both are taught in schools - students DH has recruited from there are always bilingual and have learned both languages extensively in school. One girl barely spoke English but got by.

All street signs are required to be French. Businesses have to transact their business in French. It's a French province.
Having said that. most people are bilingual, and many are trilingual.
I had a friend who taught her dog to respond to sign language.
That was pretty cool.

Still think it was real? Do you read The Onion for your news?
It came from a joke radio show. If you see something coming from This is That, the Masked Avengers or Juste Pour Rire. take it with a grain od salt. Better make it a pound.

Does it bother you that people might think it's real? I really couldn't care one way or the other as I don't have to live there.

Fine.
Quebec dogs really do have to be bilingual.
Nicolas Sarkozy really did call Sarah Palin to tell her how much he enjoyed the porn flick, "Nailin Palin"
Golden eagles really do swoop down and abscond with our small children.
Jesus really was seen walking on water on Mount Royal at Beaver Lake.

Believe whatever you want. It's moot at this point.
Don't forget to slam "Canadian socialism" as being the culprit while you're at it. That's always a nice touch.

You slam America every chance you get so what goes around comes around I guess.

Like what? Give me an example.
Oh, saying the Johnson Amendment was in our Constitution, and accusing us of not knowing our own Constitution. Well, it's not in the Constitution. That's one.
Saying that we have euthanasia laws in several cities, when the US has NO euthanasia laws, we have assisted suicide laws in a couple of places. Not euthanasia.
That's two...

As far as I'm concerned, there's little difference between assisted suicide and euthanasia.

I guess to you, two means ALWAYS.
Um no, assisted suicide is not euthanasia. Euthanasia is when a doctor puts someone "to sleep". With assisted suicide, the person MUST be able to give THEMSELVES the life taking ****tails. BIG difference. Try again!
Also, please point out for me where I said "Always". I'll wait...
I gave 2 examples, there are others, but these will suffice. I've exposed you for what you are. Deal with it.

So, two means most of the time? If you say so. I guess judging by your comments on the pyramid thread, you're drunk most of the time.
To be fair, I saw the title and immediately thought "Bloody Frogs. Of course they'd want their dog parks bilingual. Heaven forbid someone tell their dog to sit in just English." (I'm from BC - we aren't the most tolerant of eastern-Canadian bilingualism)

Lol! Isn't it English/Mandarin on your coast?
Toss some Punjabi/Hindi in there and you're about right! We definitely don't speak French tho. Bloody Frogs.
