There's just a LOT of poor written English in Montreal, badly translated from French. On tourism brochures, no less.
I can fix this. My rates are reasonable. I just registered anglicizer.ca, and my email inbox is open. Send in your sightings to theanglicizer at gmail dot com.
PS - I'd love to re-stage this photo, if anyone's interested.
