Businesses shouldn't be "encouraged" to include English signage, it should be mandatory.

this would never be allowed in other countries so I'm not sure why it would be here in Canada. This leads to exclusion and that is clear.
Also we as businesses are forced to spend money on adding French to our packaging for inclusion - why would everyone not be held to that same standard?

Chinese language pisses me off, especially that fact, English and French are the only official languages in Canada, so what the hell chinese language doing in YVR Vancouver Airport?
Come to Canada? get used to Canada, canadian rules and language as well

People should adapt to living in Canada because they are already planned by to come to Canada where English the official language in Canada and why would they not try to adapt, they might as well stay in Asia since they don't want to adapt to the new culture and language. There is no point of them even coming if they don't want to learn and adapt.

If you want my patronage, please assist me in knowing what your business is - in English. Believe it or not, some of my best friends are of Chinese descent but were born in Canada and read/speak only English as well. Even they avoid businesses if they cannot decipher just what that business is about.

People should adapt to Canada's way of life when they come to Canada not the other way around. Our country is multicultural but the first language is still English.
