Hi KLP, Yes, Quebec is very French and the rest of the country is English. There are pockets in the country that are a mix of French and English ( where I live for eg:). In these areas English most always predominates but there is an easy back and forth between French and English. Many times the conversation will be 1/2 english and 1/2 french. I think it would be fair to say that outside of Quebec, french days are numbered and the language and culture will be assimilated into English Canada. Within Quebec, french is hardcore. Vancouver and Victoria, British Columbia there is NO french. There is really no french east of Manitoba. The recent elections in Quebec were a strong vote for a united Canada and helped greatly in putting the French English issue to bed. OT~ Condor, LB was joking....but then I hope you know that by now... Yes I know that LB truly loves Canada as he does most peoples and countries of the world. I am expecting any day now that he will ask to come and visit me for a month or so in order for us to do fun things together and that he may get a more deeper understanding of Canada and its culture in order to refine his appreciation of this fine country. I will hopefully be able to introduce him to Jean Chretien our Prime Minister while he's here and they can become good friends. Yup....thats whats probably going to happen. C@sittinbythephoneforlb.rng
