This is one of the campaign signs used by the ADQ in the Montreal ridings of  Bourget et Pointe-aux- Trembles. Rough translation:

DECLINE OF FRENCH IN MONTREAL

RESULT OF THE PEQUISTES/LIBERALS:

AN INCREASE OF 22 PERCENT IN IMMIGRATION

ADQ’S SOLUTION:

PRONATALIST POLICY [that is, have lots of babies]

AND A FREEZE ON IMMIGRATION 

ADQ’s P-a-T candidate Diane Bellemare told le Journal de Montréal that the signs were meant “to differentiate [the ADQ] from the other parties.” Pretty sure it worked. Maka Kotto, PQ candidate in Bourget says it also worked for some guy named Jean-Marie Le Pen.
