New Brunswick is very bilingual.
You can walk in any store, restaurant, McD's, Tim Hortons and speak english. The next guy behind you in line will speak french and at the drop of a hat, the guy will switch languages.
It truly is a bilingual province.
Montreal is a close second.
My boss is an anglo montrealer living in Toronto. My client is a francophone living in Quebec.
I have to laugh when they get together. The english guy speaks french to the french guy who answers in english.
It's like this game that they play (speak the other guy's language). It's really something to see. They are both proficient at the other language and can switch from one to the other at a drop of a hat. It's truly a Canadian thing.
My french is good enough to get my point across or figure out what the other guy is saying sometimes, but i am not proficient enough yet to play such word games.
