Kerry Starchuk and Ann Meridinyen will present a peition to Richmond City hall on Monday saying there are too many Chinese only signs. They want one of the official languages to be place on the signs.

I agree with this. It's exclusive.

I was in my bank and they had a display of coffee, cookies, etc. and only Chinese signs on the table. It ticked me off, as there were other things and I wasn't clear on what the deal was. So I asked for the branch manager and told her that, since I could not read the signs I presumed they said "take all of this home, Deb". I picked up an entire pack of cookies and walked out, just to make my point. Which likely translated to "Deb's an ass". Whatever, it irked me.

I believe one of two official languages should always be displayed with prominence.

kilgore: Is there anything Burrows cannot do?
Maybe he should be our #1 goalie.

I believe the two official languages should always be displayed. Period.

I agree it's getting way outta hand here in Vancouver.

Same here. While I believe that people can keep and celebrate their culture, they must utilize the official languages at all times. This is Canada not China.

Quebec has the strict language laws so I don't see why we can't stop all these Chine
