I speak passable French French, and I found that in Montreal people were quite accepting and hospitable, and willing to let me communicate in their language, and also in the country. But in Quebec City I was treated with a certain insolence and answered in imperfect English, making clear a disdain of my capacity to communicate in "their" Special Language. Big difference between accommodatng Montreal and priggish, nationalistic Quebec city.

There is defintely a lot of regional chauvinism. But only in Quebec city, as far as I could tell.

Oh, was also treated with great cordiality in the Francophone district of Winnipeg this summer. I think the closer you get to the Chateau Frontenac, the snottier things get.
