“In Canada, we speak English!”

so, Quebecer complains of only English-only service at McDonald’s on Montreal’s South Shore The manager (an English speaker who speaks French) replied: “We are in Canada and in Canada we speak English. If you don’t speak English, that’s your problem!”

you know what

The manager was right.

Quebec is located in Canada and the main language of Canada is English.

When you settle in Quebec, you settle in an English-speaking province of the country.

That’s it, that’s it.

French is no more important than Urdu or Mandarin in Canada.

“We are in Canada, Canada English, blah blah…»
