So apparently when both a French language ingredient list and nutritional information are required by law, the language requirement trumps the nutritional info, as evidenced by the French sticker covering up the latter.
Even in a province where nutritional info is about a million times more relevant to the general population than French.
This pisses me off SO much.

Imagine over 400 students singing and dancing in a daily program intended to help develop the English language and vocabulary. This summer program is Learning the Language in Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD. Learning the Language is being hosted at Central Elementary this year.
Since 1985, Bilingual and ESL students in C-FB have been attending Learning the Language during the summer. The purpose of the program is to develop English through the use of fairy tales, songs and movement.
The Pied Piper visits the students every day for one hour to sing songs that he wrote himself and dance, while developing oral language in kids. Each student receives a CD to keep with all the music they sing to practice at home.
Teachers use fairy tales, poems, and hands-on activities to engage kids in the learning. Kids love coming to school every day during the summer to learn and sing with teachers and the Piper. The program consists predominantly of Pre-K and Kinder students. Students in 1st-5th grades who are new to the country also attend. Older students participate in a puppet show that correlates with the fairy tale they read that week. The program is four weeks long, starting June 10 and ending July 3.
Through singing, dancing, fairy tales and reading, students in C-FB learn at high levels.
Speakers of the Ske language of Pentecost Island in Vanuatu are creating children's books for First Grade students. The idea is to for the students to learn to read in their own language first and then transfer that ability later on to a larger / principal medium of education, like English or French.

Scott is a linguist and historian who speaks several different ancient languages, including Gaelic, Welsh and Russian. He was explaining to me the fine differences between Scottish Gaelic, Ulster Irish, Munster Irish, Argyll Gaelic and Manx when my cellphone rang and I was called away. Before I left, I asked Scott for a few quick shots, and quickly explained the 100 Strangers project. I'm glad he agreed to be photographed.
Thank you, Scott, for being stranger number sixty-three in my 100 Strangers project. I wish I would have been able to spend some more time listening to the different dialects. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the flickr group page.
