Acually your VERY wrong there....have you ever lived or spent a quantity of
time in Quebec (other then Montreal)? if you had you'd now your making a fool
of yourself by saying that...More don't don't speak english then do....

again...they give us a hard time because they are sick of the shitty treatment
they get when they come here...Example: I was a the Burger King a while
back..and a bunch of Quebecers came in after what appeared to be a Wedding in
Ontario...When they got to the cash and Tried there best to Communicate, they
were basically told to come back when they could speak english...explain that?
i've seen it may times..English who are too ignorant to even try to help...

SS> Yup. I have a question - Where are you getting this stuff from????

again...personal experience...if you've never acually had any of it happen to
you how can you pretend to know exactly what goes on?
