Actually, their logic is not remotely identical to mine.

For one, I would not suppport any law that states French only signs are illegal, and that on bilingual signs, English must be placed above, and must be larger than, French.

A lot of those francophone communities in Alberta have many bilingual signs, and even french-only signs in places. No issue with that at all.

However, similar to the situation in Alberta, if I was in Quebec and got a traffic ticket, I would not complain if it was in French only. It's something anyone with a quarter of a brain would expect to see in a jurisdiction that is governmentally unilingual.
