      True, but in my experience it’s like only speaking English in Germany. Everyone under 50 speaks English just fine, but it’s still secondary.

        But everything is required to also be written in English, right? Because I think they force the other provinces to write things in French.

        The few times I’ve been there, I never had a problem communicating with most people in English. In germany there were a few times when you could tell that English was clearly not taught to everyone, but even Germany was reasonably easy to navigate without speaking German.

          Not in quebec, no. It is officially a french only province.

          They’re not really forced to offer french. Other provinces do a piss poor job of upholding official bilingualism (ie. Supporting the french language) The only officially bilingual province is New Brunsiwick
