That "we officially need to speak French" thing is why I will never
spend $0.05 in Quebec. Montreal isn't a far ride from here. I have been
to numerous foreign countries and have never been faced with that sort
of nonsense (the expectation that you should be totally fluent in a
language just to visit a place) anywhere else especially in a situation
when you are trying to give someone your money.
