Go easy on him guys. Maybe he is just concerned that not enough people would leave their igloos in the french speaking country of Canada to make it worthwhile for the sponsors. Besides, all the teams would have the added expense of snow tires too!

I was like FUKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK Posted by: Evan« on: March 26, 2008, 04:29:37 PM »That is so true of Montreal.
Sorry to say this but Montreal has changed and it is not the same as it used to be. I used to have a lot of family from Montreal and they all moved to Ontario. They said it was because the people in Montreal thought they were French only. I used to be able to talk to people in English there and now if you don't speak french have fun finding someone to talk to you. There are some that will but not many. I also noticed we seem to have french on everything but their they don't seem to have English on everything. I was in Florida years go and a couple and their kids were playing by the pool. I see a maple leaf ona backpack. Posted by: 25_JLM_13hp« on: March 26, 2008, 04:18:40 PM »Parlez-vous le français?
That's the result of about 5 years of French class, hahaha. Oh and I can say hello and goodbye. Posted by: jcrashm2« on: March 26, 2008, 02:21:25 PM »I was in Florida years go and a couple and their kids were playing by the pool. I see a maple leaf ona backpack.
So i ask.."so where are you from?" He answers..."Montreal, Canada." I answer..."hey were Canadians too!" She says.."poly vous Francias?"..{do you speak French,however its spelt} I answer.."sorry, no." She says..."YOU ARE NOT REAL CANADIAN!!" The pickup their kids and moved to another spot around the pool. Posted by: Racechaser« on: December 14, 2007, 06:34:22 PM »I thought it was a French speaking country. Doesn't everyone speak French as well as English?
