Nouvelle Alliance, a French language activist group, taped over a number of "STOP" signs this past weekend across the Town Of Mount Royal, replacing them with "ARRÊT." The group, which describes itself as an "independence and nationalist movement of young Quebecers," made its stance clear regarding the use of "STOP" on signage across Montreal.
On May 24, the National Assembly of Quebec officially passed Bill 96 in a 78 to 29 vote and many anglophone institutions aren't too happy about it, especially the English Montreal School Board.
