Pt. Deux: Quebec is lovely and the cuisine is delectable,
as does any place with French heritage in the West.
Since Canada made their ridiculous French only language concession if you don’t know French or a Romance language you are at
a disadvantage outside of Montreal where most people are bilingual.
An “excusez-moi, pardon, parlez-vous Anglais?” goes a long way
Their French being several centuries removed
from the motherland is very rustic and the French that
come over to visit laugh at it!

Right....Canadian French is a bastardization of the pure Parisian French.

I learned the latter....and found it impossible to converse w/ Canadians in French.
