Most of the business is done in French in Quebec but they will talk English if they have to. Some parts of rural Quebec...most everything is done in French.

Only 17% of Canadians claim French as their mother tongue yet we are supposed accept bilingualism and let it be shoved down our throats without a fricken whimper.

No, it's a monstrosity and, as it turns out, mostly unnecessary.
