[lg policy] Quebec language police target Chelsea store owner's Facebook page

[Dave Sayers]

"Social Media is now on the radar of the Quebec language police.

Eva Cooper owns Delilah in the Parc - a shop in Chelsea. She received a letter from 
the language office telling her to translate everything posted on her store's 
Facebook page into French.

Cooper tells CTV Ottawa she's shocked and says social media is a grey zone with language.

"I'm not interested in posting a French posting and then to have the identical one in 
English. So, I may end up mixing English and French together," said Cooper."
