Well, I can tell you, first hand, that a trip through Quebec will be what you make of it. Leave your Western Canada English speaking attitude at home and you will find Quebecers for the most part a very friendly helpful bunch of fellow Canadians. I had similar concerns as you when we drove to the Maritimes a few years ago. Spent 2 days in Montreal, 2 days in QC, then 4 days going around Gaspe' Penninsula, and we are so glad now that we never bypassed Quebec because of a perceived attitude problem....just never happened. We ended up feeling a bit stupid that we could not speak any French, because people treated us so well. On St John Baptiste day we were invited to join a bunch of families at an evening beach bonfire to sing traditional songs while kids roasted weenies & marshmallows......the word went around that we didn't understand French so people spoke English to us to tell us what the songs being sung were about,....we were totally included and it was a pretty emotional feeling for us. Take your time and do the big cities, and Quebec. A trip across Canada is not complete without experiencing all of our Great Country. I know it certainly created an attitude adjustment in this old bigoted western boys eyes.....
