It could just be kids. Around my area it was popular to spray paint over the english on the billingual stops signs:

ARRET
STOP

to:

ARRET
101

because of "Bill 101" which banned english on external signs. It wasn't terrorists just stupid kids.

I think that's Bill 178, the new *improved* less discriminatory law

If I remember correctly Bill 101 banned all english on any sign. Some seperatists complained that this new law was too weak .....

Quebec's Bill 178 wrote: 58. Public signs and posters and commercial advertising, outside or intended for the public outside, shall be solely in French. Similarly, public signs and posters and commercial advertising shall be solely in French

(1) inside commercial centres and their access ways, except inside the establishments located there;
(2) inside any public means of transport and its access ways;
(3) inside the establishments of business firms contemplated in section 136;
(4) inside the establishments of business firms employing fewer than fifty but more than five persons, where such firms share, with two or more other business firms, the use of a trademark, a firm name or an appellation by which they are known to the public.

The Government may, however, by regulation, prescribe the terms and conditions according to which public signs and posters and public advertising may be both in French and in another language, under the conditions set forth in the second paragraph of section 58.1, inside the establishments of business firms contemplated in subparagraphs 3 and 4 of the second paragraph.

.....

58.1 Inside establishments, public signs and posters and commercial advertising shall be in French.

They may also be both in French and in another language, provided they are intended only for the public inside the establishments and that French is markedly predominnt.

Of course they're not terrorists! Terrorists use fear to achieve their ends, and these guys are obviously too ineffectual to inspire fear.

Maybe the French will surrender the language laws soon.
