Sorry to be a broken record :). Based on both local and international
attendence I do not see a reason to give french prominent amounts of
visual bandwidth for LGM; unless it unlocks significant funding that
we otherwise would not have.

"While English is the predominant language spoken by Torontonians,
Statistics Canada reports that other language groups are significant,
including the Chinese languages (particularly Cantonese and Mandarin),
Italian, Punjabi, Spanish, Tagalog, Urdu, Tamil, Portuguese, Persian,
Arabic, Russian, Polish, Gujarati, Korean, Vietnamese, and Greek.
Canada's other official language, French, is spoken by 1.2% of the
population."
