Yes yes, they speak french of course in Quebec, just saying they are not considered a bilingual province (New Brunswick "is the only constitutionally bilingual province (French and English) in the federation"). Only 15% or so of Canada's population are French/bilingual (not enough to warrant both languages on all covers really). By the way, I'm not "hatin'" on the French pop. of Canada by any means here.

I preferred the days when the cover art was reversible, having english on one side & french on the other. Most Alliance releases have both languages on both sides just in different font sizes.

Maybe in the rest of quebec, but Montreal is bilingual for sure

I'll be buying this day one regardless of the cover ( I would prefer english only though :d)
