You’ve put a lot of thought into this. Would we be required to learn French ri satisfy the Quebecois?
Mais, ouis! Certainement!
Not just any generic ‘French’ will do!
The Quebecois have their own specific dialect of French, and the older generation of that group will accept absolutely no other type of French within their borders.
See the Charter of the French Language as shown in Bills 101 and Bill 96 for reference.
