Since you can't use French to compete in Code Jam, I guess it violates Quebec's Charter of the French Language.

- t1o5 9y agoI wonder how tech companies find talents assuming most of the software and books about it are in English.
- DKnoll 9y agoSimple... they relocate to Ontario.
- t1o5 9y agoSome of the wierd things I found out about Quebec's absurd language laws - Toys and games, which require the use of a non-French vocabulary for their operation are prohibited on the Québec market, unless a French version of the toy or game is available on the Québec market on no less favourable terms. KFC was renamed to PFC (Poulet Frit Kentucky) inorder to operate in Quebec. The child of non English immigrants or naturalized citizens cannot go to English schools in Quebec by law ! What fun in Quebec.
- cafard 9y agoI happened to be on vacation in Quebec when Law 1 (or was it 101?) went into effect. I remember the education minister threatening English-speaking schools with $x/child/day fines for sending to children from any but Anglophone homes.
