I don't live in Vancouver currently, but I grew up there and this certainly wouldn't surprise me.

Does this mean Canada has dropped French in favor of Dog? And is this not treating cats as second class pets. (not that there is anything wrong with treating cats as second class pets)

Silly Canadians, they can't even speak dog-lish correctly and they spelt Grrrr wrong.

It should read: Grrrr, yelp, bark, woof.

Oh, and my germen sheperd said that when he was marching into france (he's an old dog ), the french dogs had an accent after the woof.

So in Canada, it would be Grrr, woof'mmmph, bark, yelp.

Yep, that's what i've heard.

Anyway, the Canadians have still proven how illiterate they are by not inlcuding the 'yelp'... definitely needed.

I once saw a city sign, near school property, in Oregon that said something like: "No Drug Trafficing Permited on These Premisses"

Hmmm? So where is IT legal?

My cat just informed me that it will be filing a formal complaint with the NAACP, the National Association for the Advancement of Cat in Public. He believes that this is discrimination.

Never name your cat Jackson.

Cats bury after they have finished their business, so owners don't really need to pick-up after them.

Don't worry Fros37, in BC we don't have any language police. You can post signs in any language without breaking the law.

But if we ever did become officially bilingual I expect Mandarin would be the second language. Just not many French people out here.

Or give them Feline Marijuana - Catnip - as my mother just did...sigh...

My cat no longer wants to press charges. He feels that we can come to a groovy settlement over a hot capuccino.

Theorically, all Canada is supposed to be bilingual... If it was, there wouldn't be almost 50% of separatists in Quebec.
