Quebec’s French-language Minister Jean-François Roberge says that the “Go Habs Go” slogan is part of the DNA and identity of Quebec and should be left alone.

Roberge made the comments after reports that Montreal’s public transit operator, Société de transport de Montréal (STM), said it was ordered to use the French “Allez Habs Allez” in bus messages by the Office québécois de la langue française (OQLF) and remove the English terms.
