I LIVE in Montreal , i walk the streets every day , and in I can assure you , you hear far more snippets of converation in English than you do in French. Of course there's loads of french , but in Montreal it's like 50/50; in the more remote areas of Quebec you couldn't find an anglo to save your life.

nah , in Montreal most people are really Englihs. I should know, I live here. It's only on the outskirts of Quebec , in the little dinky places like Trois Rivers and stuff , where you meet the really french hicks

MY language is german, so nobody speaks my language outside europe anyways...
i'm not complaining about that,
i just think that it's ridiculous of a busdriver to force me to speak french (actually he was able to speak english, but wouldn't speak english with us - tourists), if you came to austria you'd probably speak english with our busdrivers (would you find it nice of them to answer you in german...although they ARE able to speak english?)

You're right, unexpected90: many bus drivers & the less educated people are more reluctant to speak English, since they still see it as the language of the oppressor (Québec & Eastern Canada up to Louisiana was colonized by France & then invaded by Great Britain).
Mind you, wouldn't you make the effort to learn Spanish if travelling to Latin America (where very few people outside of the business / university communities speak English), or you'd complain that people don't speak YOUR language?
