Ive had to drive through quebec so many times. My french isn’t the best but i will try and communicate with someone for either food or directions. It blows my mind at how some people can just tell you are english and then they stop talking to you or they get this disgusting look on their face.

Lol. That’s really hard to believe. The main complain I’ve heard was that people will actually switch to english when they can tell you speak english, making it impossible to practice. But hey, we live in the world’s most friendly country, where everyone is welcome (except those disgusting natives and french canadian, /s).

I live very close to the Quebec border and I’ve never once in my life experienced this. My French isn’t all that great and not once did a Québécois give me a hard time. If anything they were super patient and were happy to see an Ontarian do their best to speak the language.
