Michael Calomiris - Quebec government fines English language web page owner for - Brief Article

Reason, Jan, 2000

Authorities in Quebec have some problems with Michael Calomiris' Web site. No, it isn't dirty pictures that has Calomiris in trouble. It's dirty language: English. Quebec requires that all commercial Web sites be run in French. Calomiris has refused to change the language on his site or to put up a French duplicate.

So the government has fined him U.S.$477, an amount that will double each time he's cited and refuses to comply.
