Don’t worry the Rest Of Canada doesn’t really bother to learn French anyway. It only works the other way around. Unless you want to be a politician or move to Quebec, and even then…
I should know, I’m a native French speaker. Doesn’t it show? Did you have to learn French to understand what I just wrote? No, because WE are the ones that have to learn English.
Hehe yeah, my parents got us all to learn french anyway, I don’t use it much, but it helps to read a surprisingly large amount of other languages knowing english and french. I could probably more easily learn a few others if I get a reason to. But yeah, have only actually encountered 2 french speaking people in my 40 years so far. So the side benefits of learning it were certainly the more important part. Not even sure I could still follow an auditory conversation in French, but I read it fine.

Acadians, Québécois, and Franco-Ontarians are more bilingual. All French speakers.
Sorry if I kind of broke the joke but, here’s some facts.
