A small Ontario town passes a bylaw which says that shop signs must be only in English. A butcher's shop which caters to the local German-speaking population is charged with infringing the bylaw and the proprietor raises s. 2(b) of the Charter in his defence.
A) Since only political speech is protected by the Charter, he will lose.
B) Since the Charter does not apply to non-government bodies like a butcher's shop, he will lose.

D) Since the Charter protects commercial expression, regardless of any value it may have, simply because we must all be free to say what we choose, he will win.
