<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kittyfoot, post: 1778098, member: 33480&quot;]PS: Since you&#039;re running Quebec, I&#039;ll throw this into this thread just in case: if you&#039;re running Quebec and get stopped by a scale attendant with an attitude who refuses to speak English to you, here&#039;s some advice: Canada has two official languages, English and French. Any individual is entitled under the human rights code in Canada to receive correspondence from the Canadian government and any of its branches in the official language of their preference, either English of French. Since the scale attendant is a government representative of the ministry of transportation, they must abide by your request to receive communication in the language of your preference, presumably English. State that you are entitled to receive communication from the government in the language of your preference, state that your preferred language is English, and if they refuse to comply by either speaking English or getting a translator, take their officer number, time, date, location of the scale house, and ask to speak to their supervisor about filing a human rights violation (and don&#039;t bluff here, <i>mean it</i>). This is a serious offense for a government official and your complaint will be successful</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Driver, do <i>NOT</i> bet the farm on this. Quebec is the only province in Canada that is legally exempt from this provision. They are <i>legally</i> unilingual French. Try mouthing off to a scale operator or QPP officer and you will visit a French-only jail and court system &quot;toute suite&quot; and <i>you</i> have to find your own bi-lingual lawyer who is licenced to operate in Quebec. Plus your truck/trailer/load will be impounded.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
