I don't mean to tell english people that they do not belong in the province of Quebec, but it should not be normal that you guys can live in Montreal since decades et not even speak a godamn word of french. That is ridiculous. And unrespectful of other quebecers. - ThE_AdvoCaTe Yeah, but montreal has only itself to blame for that, I think. I lived in Kingston for six years and it's not a long road-trip to get to Montreal. I grew up in NE Ontario - I've spoken french since I was three years old (albeit with something of a Val D'Or/Rouyn accent  ) and everywhere I go in Montreal I have to practically force people to speak French. I'm sure there's a slight accent in my french as English is definitely my first language, but it's like as soon as a sentence comes out, half the time people just reply in English. I usually have to press to carry on the conversation in French. Paris suffers from the same thing - it's always flooded with tourists so unless you're speaking Parisian dialect (or Montrealer in the former case), they just assume that you've gotten your one memorised phrase out and carry on in English. No... um, actually, I speak perfect French, thanks. Peut-être on utiliserait plus le Français si les Francophones n'était pas après sacrer leurs camps du language à chaque tour, hein? It is a shame, I agree. | ||

Played a few games with them, chatted for a bit, turned out they had a guy who did delivery service and could get whatever we wanted, lol. From a guy who ran a bar - and cheap prices! Love Montreal. | ||

-Go see the old port (cobblestone streets, horses, old architecture, amazing atmosphere especially at this time of year) -Go climb the mountain and get a fantastic view of downtown from the observatory (and bring a camera or you'll regret it) -Try real poutine, preferably from a local place and not a chain restaurant like McD or burker king -Try a queue de castor (beaver tail) -Walk around St-Catherine / crescent / peel area for night life -See the biodome and the olympic stadium -La Ronde (six flags) -Just for laughs festival -Explore the underground; yeah it sounds really underwhelming, but consider that montreal has the largest underground network in the world. It connects most major areas of downtown together along with a bunch of shopping malls, cinemas, office buildings, restaurants, two major train terminals and several metro stations on seperate lines. -bang french canadians but don't call them french canadians | ||

DO NOT DO LIKE ME. DO NOT LEAD OR HELP ANYBODY AT THE BEGINING . Take it slow and learn as others learn or else the'll expect more from you and you'd like to show them you can "improve". I was suppose to be light infantry and so we got drilled every fucking day, all the fucking time because we had bad ass sgt and mcpl. If you have the option of getting somebody from the blackwatch please take that oppurtunity, at the begining you'll hate them because the'll piss you off, but they just want to fuck with your brain. Suck it up and fuck around with them haha (don't do that...it will get you killed) Anyways as for montreal, if you like to play soccer, I'd be more than happy to kick your ass at it. If anybody else lives in Montreal and wants to get their asses handed at bw or soccer or any sport, please pm me  . Oh if you want me to invite oldy, I can always do that too lol he goes to mcgill so ya... and schism[light] lives near udm i think and ya dude, you should just enjoy the just for laugh festival it's fantastic. Also go watch fireworks every saturday I think in the old port at 10:00-10:30 (somebody correct me if I'm wrong) it's a firework competition between nations.Also, if you want asians, go to mcgill university campus  or udm, the're always some there haha. If you want go out and meet asians... then tokyo and hmm I don't remember the other clubs that are highly asian lately. | ||

Jgad: your french is far from perfect, I can assure you that. In fact, your only sentence doesn't really make sense in french. So, any "get together to celebrate the Golden Mouse" on the way somewhere in Mtl ? | ||

Jgad: your french is far from perfect, I can assure you that. In fact, your only sentence doesn't really make sense in french. I'm pretty sure that it does, but I'm curious as to what about it puzzles you. edit : ok, the only thing I can think of that could be confusing you is the dialectal use of "après" to mean "going about doing", or the 'joual' phrase "sacrer son camp" - both of which I would expect any native speaker of Quebecois would understand. I get the feeling that you are a native speaker, though, so I might just guess that you're really young and maybe don't understand all that old-people talk? Anyway, I don't use joual when speaking in normal situations like touring a city, etc. It was just to give the post a bit of flavour. | ||

Peut-être on utiliserait plus le Français si les Francophones n'était pas après sacrer leurs camps du language à chaque tour, hein? "Français" (when you're talking about the language and not the people who speaks it" and "Francophones" doesn't have a capital F "était" should be written "étaient" (plural form) "après" before a verb is slang and only used by old people "leurs" and "camps" doesn't have an "s" (since it's not plural) "sacrer leur camp du langage" doesn't make any sense "à chaque tour" means "each turn" which I also dont get unless you're talking about a turn-based strategic computer game like alpha centuri ; ) | ||

"A chaque tour" (each turn) is not the same as "à chaque fois" ("each time"). I do not doubt you speak it fluently, it is way harder to write french properly... | ||

Hehe... of course i've heard "sacrer son camp" many times... ; ) it just doesn't apply to language (only places). "A chaque tour" (each turn) is not the same as "à chaque fois" ("each time"). I do not doubt you speak it fluently, it is way harder to write french properly... Ok, well, where I grew up you could sacre your camp of just about anything - people, places, an old bazou, whatever. Writing french is indeed a bastard and that's probably why I haven't practiced in so long, lol. Anyways, I love the language, I think it's great when I get a chance to speak it, and it sucks when people have to play silly headgames instead of just replying to a person in the same language that they start with. I guess that's what I get for going to a touristy area, haha. have you seen these, btw? http://www.tetesaclaques.tv/ | ||
