Well we are dealing with the government, politics and Quebec here, not a company. Witting a letter is pointless when the government or Quebec is involved. This is the place you can't sell anything unless it's in two languages.
Dell states, not available in Quebec.
I will write a letter, but I know where it will end up.
In my conversations with Toshiba I asked can I put a US keyboard on my system, they said yes. You can not buy US layout boards in Canada, the ones available are cheap China ripoffs. You have to go to a US supplier and pay 140 bucks for a board. That is a genuine Toshiba board.
See Sony's statement:

"We are pleased to be able to offer the NR Series VAIO as a computing solution at a price point that enables consumers – from students to first time PC purchasers – access to affordable PCs that feature all of the latest technologies," said Puneet Jain, director, IT marketing, for Sony Canada. "With the inclusion of the bilingual keyboard and operating systems, bilingual consumers across Canada will enjoy the ability to be able to work in their preferred language on a PC with all the benefits that a Sony VAIO offers."
I always complain about products I get if they don't meet my expectations, I have received lots of coupons or refunds from complaining to the company. Do it to the government, good luck. Now if I were French or a minority and I was complaining that there was no bilingual keyboard on my favorite computer, I would have the support of the government, but since I am not French or a minority, I am a pee on, with no say in the matter.
We are talking about a Country that makes Elementary students take mandatory French classes. At least that's what I had to do back in the 70's.
As you know this political thing with Quebec has been going on for years and years. Quebec usually gets their way in the end. |
