Montreal isn't a French city. It's a bilingual city. You can live in Montreal, not speak a lick of French, and still get around just fine. There are many Montrealers, particularly ones that grow up on certain parts of Montreal Island, who speak English first and only have a partial grasp of French.

And we hate them

Coolest part of Montreal is having conversations in two different languages. Speak in English, they might answer in French. Speak in French, they'll might respond in English.

can can can
yes its bilingual but its in quebec and montreal which is known for being french is it really surprising somebody doesnt know english?
you can get on just fine with english but you can just as much if not better with french too why is it surprising she doesnt know english? its not like all they do is speak english and shes out of place with french

What i hate the most is when an anglophone fellow talks to me in English, then even if im perfectly bilingual I asnwer in french, and then they start talking in french easily..

You're in Quebec, if you can talk french, talk french first.

LOL. Fuck no

People will speak what they prefer
