All those English speaking hockey players for the Habs who swear to do so but only say “Bonjour, comment ça va, merci” after years.

A lot of that 6% lives in Montreal and people speak both languages and French speaking people make efforts to make themselves understood by even sinply using English from the beginning if they hear the person is mainly speaking English even though the law states we should always be able to be served in French.

Meanwhie, Quebecers speak French in France and they answer in English because they don’t make the effort to understand what we say.

Edit: also, it looks to be 14.9% and not 6%

Yeah the thing is, we hear a lot about those people who will learn French… and then a lot of them don’t. Also, I’d like to see how would anglophones react if the NDP only had unilingual francophones. This isn’t a nothingburger. And that comes from someone who has never voted for souverainists parties, neither at federal nor provincial elections.

It will be tough for me to take the NDP seriously if their leader isn’t bilingual.

Not related directly to the article, which I found interesting, but I’d never heard of this website before and there seems to be many great articles on it! Another website to follow for me!
