Many Canadian companies have opted that way, including all those that
moved their head offices from Quebec when the language laws came into
effect.

Probably cost Lee Valley a small fortune to translate all those tool pr0n
catalog's into French. Never mind the website, and all the other stuff
that would be necessary to keep the language police off their case.

So I take it those two businesses have decided the cost was too great and

Mmmmmmm... time to buy a couple of BRIDAL magazines and circling ALL

All I have to do is wait till the mailman kicks you in the shins.

Wait till the weekend is over.

Mind you we can't have Lee Valley or Busy Bee here either unless they

I can't speak for the businesses, but it would not make financial sense
for them to produce all documentation in a second language for a
customer base that would not be much larger than what it presently is.
Both companies do mail order and web orders so they do not have to open
a branch store (although it would be nice). The largest population area
is only two hours from the main Lee Valley store/factory and many of us
will find another excuse to go to Ottawa with the family and while we
are there we may as well stop in at Lee Valley.
