The Montreal lawyer said he sees the Supreme Court refusal to hear his appeal as a fear of wading into the Quebec language debate.

The Supreme Court has refused to hear his appeal, but lawyer Brent Tyler vowed to continue his legal challenge against Quebec’s sign law.
“It’s Round 7, and it’s a 15-round fight,” Tyler told reporters at his law offices Thursday.
Tyler was representing 24 businesses that were prosecuted for violating the French language charter in between 1998 and 2001. In each of the cases, the lettering of English-language words was equal to the size of the French words. Tyler argues that it’s a violation of freedom of expression to tell people that the French language must be predominant on signs that they use on their businesses.
