One of Galganov’s first prominent QPAC activities was to organize a protest at Fairview Pointe-Claire, a shopping mall, in 1996 in the predominantly anglophone West Island of Montreal to protest that retail stores were not placing any English on their commercial signs despite being allowed under the Charter of the French Language.
[6] These activities caused a reaction among fringe Quebec nationalist groups, garnering publicity for Galganov.
He was on the air for just over a year (replaced in the morning show by Montreal broadcaster Jim Duff),[11] and made efforts to help rally support for William Johnson in his run for the leadership of Alliance Quebec.
He ran as an independent candidate in the Ontario riding of Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry in the federal election of October 14, 2008, advocating an end to official bilingualism and the separation of Quebec from Canada, and finishing fourth with 5.7% of the vote.
[13] Galganov, along with Jean-Serge Brisson, a local business owner, is challenging in provincial court a regulation on mandatory bilingual signage adopted on June 16, 2008, by the township of Russell.
He claims that the regulation, by making French-only or English-only signs illegal, is threatening the French language in Ontario.
