For those who don’t know where Little Burgundy is, it’s the neighbourhood where Montreal’s black anglophone population first put down roots and was Quebec’s centre of the jazz scene in the early 1900’s. Quebec’s language police is cracking down on English, and has said that Pub Burgundy Lion isn’t French enough for their liking. The name of the neigbourhood in French is Petit-Bourgogne, so they’re playing semantic games with this Pub’s name.
