language policy and courts

[Cynthia Groff]

Hi David!

Maybe not what you're looking for, but there's an interesting court case
going on in Alberta right now re: a unilingual traffic ticket. Quebec
probably has some interesting cases...

Check out this Globe and Mail article "Supreme Court backs Alberta
man's 8-year fight over unilingual traffic ticket"

Hope all's well with you!

Cynthia
