Just for the record- my experience has been the opposite in the
Montreal area. We were welcomed and treated *very* well by anglo
and franco -Quebecois [?]

Maybe because we were there to play hockey?
At any rate, several trips to different parts of Quebec- mostly around
Montreal- were all great experiences for about 100 youth hockey
families all told. [maybe 6 trips over 3-4 years with different teams]

We stayed mostly in the english speaking areas, but a couple of the
rinks were all French & they had high school kids assigned to each
team to translate.

We were never treated as well at any rinks or hotels in the states.
