The owners of a mom-and-pop cupcake shop in Montreal were issued an order to redraw their chalkboard signs after receiving a letter from the Office Quebecois de la Langue Francaise to enlarge the French text on them.

According to CTV News, the owners of Cupcake Emmagination Bakery were frustrated by the demands of the OQLF, but will follow through with the changes because they don’t have the means to challenge them in court.

The bakery has until October 19th to change their signs.

A gunman killed nine people and wounded seven before he was fatally shot by police at a mass shooting that took place at a community college campus in Oregon on Thursday.   Three of the wounded were listed in critical condition.

According to the Toronto Sun News, President Obama in his emotionally charged address to the nation said that people should demand greater gun controls from their politicians.

The police are continuing their investigations into the motives that triggered the 26-year-old suspect to commit this latest mass shooting.
