Never been to Canada. Is it common for shopkeepers to cut products in half and only keep the half with their language on? And did you stray in to the wrong neighbourhood you were so caffeine deprived Garg?
Hope you enjoyed your croissant!
That looks like a rather old cereal box, so I can’t address whatever practice was in place at the time of its production, but typically today packages in Canada are in English on one side and in French on the other, or have the two languages on the same side in some kind of arrangement like parallel columns. So to get the English half of the cereal box, Garg would simply need to rotate it 180 degrees.
WRONG NEIGHBOURHOOD!?!?!?
Excuse me sir, do you speak RUSSIAN?
Because RUSSIA is closer to you in the United kingdom than QUEBEC is to me in British Columbia, but it’s LAW that FRENCH has to be on EVERYTHING.
HALF of each cereal box, is covered in that cluttery language - and it makes me sick.
Every child is faced with this federal abuse everyday, from the first moment they wake up in the morning, to just before they sleep at night.
@CWO:

Exactly…
All I want to know, is when I get the other half of my cereal box back.
Infact Russia and Japan are basicaly closer to me than Quebec…
And why do I have to -turn- my Cereal box? ABUSE!
Well I never. You learn something every day.
And this has come about, despite the French loss of Quebec.
What if they had won in 1759?
Oh the so very tiring topic of French Canada… the culture that is so oppressed that the only people who care or can even see it are apparently the French. The never ending pointless ramblings of a culture that is dying purely of its own volition and not through the actions of anyone else.
BTW Gargantua, Marty Mcfly called and said he needs his DeLorean back after you’re done shopping in 1972.

Hepps, I’ve got 1996 on the phone, and they say they want thei dial-up-era commentary back.
Oh, and something about a “kid” you don’t know about? ;)
LOL.

We wouldn’t have to elect a nationalist goverment to quit a country where it is too much for a person to have a french side to his Frosted flake box.
Yea “Quit” is synonomous with “French”.
See how you act,
Why would we want to stay?
That’s a great quesiton.
Why HAVE you stuck around for 200 years?
Maybe we should be asking - when can you leave? :)
Well, tomorrow if we dont have to pay the rent!

Typical french “what are you going to do for me” attitude!
Well man, I was trying to buy peace and bring the discussion elsewhere.
I wont go where you trying to bring thi thread with that kind of attack. Well dont know how to qualify that attitude, is it racist, xenophob?.
I accept your peace frenchman, and your humble surrender.
:P
We are brothers after-all! :D
The correct term for moi is ‘culturalist’.
