Good for them. I grew up watching French decline in Louisiana rapidly. It’s now 4% of the population. When I went to Montréal, I drove from nyc and the signs were French or bilingual. Most people speak English. Stop complaining. ⚜️
@@PatricenotPatrick They do their thing. French in Louisiana was subject to linguistic persecution for two centuries. We see the result now. It is normal that in a French speaking French land the signs are in French no matter what other languages the visitors may speak.

Actually, Quebec nationalism and the Quiet Revolution weren't by any means the only factors in making Montreal smaller than Toronto a few decades ago. (By that, I mean the metro areas, not the cities proper.) It's also that Toronto was growing faster than Montreal in any event, and the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway in 1959 allowed oceanic ships to penetrate deeper into the Great Lakes region. Not to mention that Toronto is closer to major Midwestern US markets. Thus, even without the French language policies and what not, Toronto would have outpaced Montreal, perhaps not quite as quickly (10-15 years later than in real life).
Agree. You might want to read also: "The Reconquest of Montreal" by Marc Levine. According to him, the Toronto Stock exchange surpassed Montreal's as soon as 1939-1940 due to a mining boom in Ontario. TSX specialised in mining stock and most of Canada's mines were located in Ontario. If everybody knew all of this, it might cool down the language debate.
You have a lot missing 1- The allophone speak french for most of them 2- The english speaking are only 10 % of Montreal, if you consider Anglophone only and further more many anglos do spêak french ( The allophone speak French and some english at home but are not anglophones). The only official language of Quebec is French. Toronto is even worse in number of Allophones since more then 45% are born outside Canada. You should make a video on it
I enjoyed your video! I'm living in Montreal now and love it. Although I don't speak French very well, I always try to converse in French with people. They usually take pity on me and switch to English though lol. I've subscribed so that I can follow along on your Canadian videos, and to support a fellow TH-camr :) Keep those vids coming!
I have found the same experience. Despite an inaccurate characterization of being unfriendly, I find Montrealers very friendly and willing to speak English, as long as you are polite, and attempt to speak their language. A "Merci Beaucoup" or "S'il-vous plait" or "Excuse Moi" can go a long way! Like all people, they want respect.
@@jdhjimbo as a Québécoise, I can say we respect people who's trying to learn or speak our language, even if it's limited... at least the effort is there! We're not close-minded... we just don't want to be ignored as a french population!
Being a descendant of the first child born in Montreal, I've long been fascinated by the city's unique history. One thing I've learned is that there was an important change that occurred towards the end of the 19th century. From the British conquest onwards, Montreal was the centre of commerce for all of Canada. It had a small, supposedly "English" elite. But this elite was in fact overwhelmingly Scottish. Often, they were Scottish highlanders whose native tongue was Gaelic, not English, and who had little liking for the "Sassenach" [The abusive Scottish name for their English enemies]. But even the English-speaking Scots had been raised in a society that traditionally considered French to be the language of culture and refinement. Up until the 1870s, the old Scottish business elite of Montreal eagerly learned to speak French, and functioned in that language as needed. But this was followed, during a period when the British Empire reached the apogee of its power, by a shift. Canada, long dominated by a cultural fusion of French, Scottish, Irish and First Nations, began to be much more a part of Queen Victoria's global Empire, and English fashions and ideas began to absorbed and copied by Montreal's elite. French Canadians who moved into Montreal from rural and small-town Quebec now had to learn English if they wanted to move up the economic ladder, and Montreal became an English-speaking city embedded in a French-speaking countryside. After World War 2, this process began a dramatic reversal, as the older business elite was replaced by a new French-speaking entrepreneurial group, which asserted itself more and more, while at the same time, English-speaking Toronto gradually overtook and replaced Montreal as Canada's economic centre. Ironically, Toronto was able to do so mostly because of the mineral wealth in Ontario's French-speaking northern region. In Northern Ontario, the various mining and lumber towns, even if they are now more English-speaking, often have a French Canadian business elite. And the French Canadians who moved up the Ottawa valley towards the north, with surnames like Tremblay and Potvin and Gagnon ---- well, a huge proportion of them were actually Irish who had been transformed into French Canadians several generations earlier. My own paternal grandmother was a Tremblay who, once you scratched through the family records, was really a Kelly. And she married into a "French Canadian" family that had moved east from Saskatchewan, and was Francophone Metis of ultimately Scottish and Cree origin. The social history of Canada is a whirling wonderland.
A small correction, the map of Gatineau only showed 60% of the city. Aylmer and Buckingham areas were not coloured as part of the city, but are in fact part of Gatineau proper.
Montreal is french and bilingual ...You will never find another majort city in Canada using the 2 official languages. There is no other place in Canada architecture, culture, night life ,history , modernism . where you can study in both languages from elementary schools to well known international universities . The culture is unique and really represents the history of Canada
Montréal is french not bilingual, but many are bilingual. The charter of the Province and of the City is French only. Try to get the proper information and use the proper description before writing things. What you are talking about is a perception nothing else just because many are bilingual.
Visiting Montréal inspired me to learn French as my 3rd language (I live in Texas) and by my 3rd visit I was fine getting around. I’ve been to Vancouver and Toronto even up to the Yukon. But Québec is truly special ❤️
As someone living in an Anglo bubble in Quebec, and having been to much of the rest of Canada, I find that even Anglo Quebec feels more different from nearby parts of the United States than is the case in most of Canada outside Quebec (to say nothing of French Quebec). It's hard to describe it, but it goes way beyond just language. Anglo Quebec truly is its own world, even more so than (say) Ontario.
You don't really know the francophonie. Almost nobody in Kinsasha or Abidjan have french as a mother tongue , unlike Montreal. The only city in Africa where there's a significant percentage of people having french as their native language is Libreville. (Gabon)
It started with the provincial Liberals adopting Bill 22 making French the official language of Quebec. Bill 101 by the Parti Quebecois was just icing on the cake.
Also, don’t forget, since other areas are so French, non. French people gravitate to Montreal as they feel more comfortable to receive bilingual services…there used to be significant English populations in Quebec City and eastern townships, as the schooling and other institutions close, they move to Montreal…
On my trips to QC, I find English to be less prevalent. Most menus in MTL have English translations, but not so in QC, other than tourist magnets like Chateau Frontenac, or tours on the St Lawrence. The Winter Carnival in QC is fabulous, and I love Old Quebec, but a little French will make your trip easier. I so think Laval has an English presence, as UMich has recruited football players from there, and their English is good.
Remember that it is people who speak the language, not the land. Anglophone areas in the west are low density suburban neighborhoods as opposed to areas in east/north.
It will be interesting to see what the dominant language of the allophones' descendants will be in the future. According to the presented information on their heritage I would guess that their first language will be French although bi- or trilingualism may not be ruled out here which in nowadays situation (global trade, international ties etc.) will be a big plus for the region and Canada.
Although their children must attend French schools the worry amongst the nationalists is they will grow up increasingly comfortable using English. That is why the current government wants to limit immigration to Quebec to 50,000 which is a very small number.
Montréal is french guys, people can go out of their way to respond to you in English. But we speak French, tv is french, everything as to be written in French because of the law, majority of school are in French and it's government is ruled by francophone. Also Montreal keeps attracting french speaker all around the world because, it's the only BIG city in North America that as french as one of it's main language. No surprise why the French European community keeps increasing.
@@123benny4 no if colonization come to picture then india pakistan Bangladesh and many more will come. Ans is white Europeans came.to this land wiped out the aboriginals now the cureent citizens of these countries tell themselves Canadian, American, Australian, newzealanders, south african.

There are 2 Quebecs. One is the City of Montreal and the other is all of the rest of Quebec. Outside the City of Montreal , Quebec is the LEAST diverse region in ALL of Canada.
Obviously because of the pandemic, Montreal downtown with its two English speaking universities became more English speaking because french speakers were working at home in the suburbs or leaving to the countryside. But Yet, TVA made it a Nation crisis
Short answer is no. We go to school in French, speak to authority in French, but socialize, communicate , read , travel live in English. It’s just how it is,
everything is in french and english in Quebec even the menu at the retaurant ... your are ignorant ... plus every body is bilingual in Quebec not the case in Canada ... start learning the 2 officials languages then you wont bother with your ignorance
@@jeanbolduc5818 wait a minute the official posts on the road direction etc is only french which should be bilingual like in New Brunswick. That make things dangerous specially driving.
Don’t really feel bad for you all with the Arabic other lanague listed here taking away from your french need you all let in a lot of foreigners that’s on you… i do feel bad for your english invasion though you can’t really help that
Holy, didn't know that Toronto's population skyrocketed after 1991. And of course Quebec doesn't have the respect to have English as a second language officially when the rest of the country have to bear with French 🙄
Totalement faux. La seule province officiellement bilingue est le Nouveau-Brunswick Champion. Toutes les provinces, à l'exception du Québec et du Nouveau-Brunswick, ont l'anglais comme seule langue officielle. Tu vois, le Québec offre les services dans les 2 langues, ce qui n'est pas le cas dans beaucoup de province 🤷♂️
Sorry to burst your bubble, but the English-speaking provinces never have any respect for the French-speaking people, the proof? For more than 160 years the English-speaking provinces have played with the French speaker's rights taking away theirs rights to education and religious instruction and legal rights in French.
Montreal was always bilingual the rest of Quebec was hardcore french.Many streets in Montreal carried english names but were changed over time .No respect to the immigrants whom grew Quebec's economy a real slap in the face .
In the North east side of Montreal there is st leonard ,Montreal Nord Riviere des Prairies these districts have a good amount of Italian people and 80 % have English as their first language but are also very bilingual /trilingual to be more exact.Hey its 261 years that we have English in Montreal.When you go to Switzerland nobody argues over language there are 4 official languages German French Italian and a native one and they have been there for centuries ,they declined but also ascended and none but none had any laws to remove any of the 4 languages .Removing a language that is part of Montreals heritage is wrong,you dont protect a language by removing another one,its malice and discrimination! How does it protect the language if you have a sign that has French and English,the French people will read the French part and if they are curious to know what it means in English they will look at it, same for English ,it really has nothing at all to do with Protecting French .There is no country in the world even if there is a decline in their language they never will remove other languages .When I was a kid I used to like the French language very much because I used to watch many French tv shows like Bobino,Symphorien,Sol et Goblet,Jeunesse d aujourd hui,Travail a la chaine,soiree du Hockey,so many and that was a time when the government was normal did not force anyone ,but in 1976 the separatists won the election (PQ) and Bill 101 forced and pushed people to speak French taking away everyones liberties to choose what they want,so many were forced to learn and it made more Anglos bilingual but now in 2021 they have Bill 96 which removes many rights to Anglos and Allos its an overexaggerted version of Bill 101 ,there really was no need to make such a bill because there is no problem with the French and English not like it was in the 60s and 70s there has been peace with both but Legault and the CAQ ARE BULLYING THE ANGLOS and ALLOS They are punishing us with no motive, we were minding our business,Language was and is not an issue ,the true issue is Health care and economy and that is what the CAQ was supposed to have taken care of,but no instead they took care of the least of the problems,the language and we are fed up .You know when you are a kid and your Parents nag you all the time and you cant take it that is what has become,we can not like the French language anymore it been shoved in our throats and removed our rights ,like your parents nagging you and removing all your toys when you were a kid and you all know how it feels if you had those kind of parents. I wish French people would understand and be on our side .
I would say there is far more "JOUAL" spoken in Montreal than the French language.. Most Montrealers love "JOUAL" and do not like the French language.. Montreal should become a "province" and leave the rest of Quebec..
Gah. Please don’t use the flag of France to represent the French language (or the flag of the United Kingdom to represent the English language). Why not just use the American flag? Or the Belgian flag? 🤢
@@passatboi clearly it's not representing Montreal, Québec or Canada, that was never the intention, is representing the language, that's why a language called french is represented by the country where it came out, anyways, its not logical at all representing English with american flag cause english is not from there and american doesn't represent Québec either. He's not talking about what represents quebec, is talking about languages and yes, is called french, cause its from France so logically the flag is french too
@@fabianr.8544 also I don't know what he expects to represent English as? He wouldn't use the Canadian flag because it represents both the English and the French
No MTL isn't french and never be I'm from Quebec Montreal I leave in Ontario Ottawa for 18 years Quebec is racist first language should be English like all the country Trudeau is racist I do not want cross the bridge to go in Quebec this have to stop why Quebec can adapted they self like all people in Canada we should ban french and all language is an English country and should stay that way and equal for all provinces no exceptions period
You just proved you're the racist with your comment, yes Montreal was founded by French people the proof The name Montreal means Mont Royal in old French😂
Is Montreal really French.....I dunno, but if it ever wants to become even a smidge relevant again it better become more Canadian......Toronto ate it’s lunch in the 1970s and 1980s because of the French dominated politics, when it drove business, immigration, and money from it to Toronto, making Toronto THE dominant city in Canada, and a top North American city as well. Montreal has become irrelevant since with ...Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary eclipsing it for importance. I really don’t ever see Montreal gaining importance again.

How does it protect the language if you have a sign that has French and English,the French people will read the French part and if they are curious to know what it means in English they will look at it, same for English ,it really has nothing at all to do with Protecting French .There is no country in the world even if there is a decline in their language they never will remove other languages .When I was a kid I used to like the French language very much because I used to watch many French tv shows like Bobino,Symphorien,Sol et Goblet,Jeunesse d aujourd hui,Travail a la chaine,soiree du Hockey,so many and that was a time when the government was normal did not force anyone ,but in 1976 the separatists won the election (PQ) and Bill 101 forced and pushed people to speak French taking away everyones liberties to choose what they want,so many were forced to learn and it made more Anglos bilingual but now in 2021 they have Bill 96 which removes many rights to Anglos and Allos its an overexaggerted version of Bill 101 ,there really was no need to make such a bill because there is no problem with the French and English not like it was in the 60s and 70s there has been peace with both but Legault and the CAQ ARE BULLYING THE ANGLOS and ALLOS They are punishing us with no motive, we were minding our business,Language was and is not an issue ,the true issue is Health care and economy and that is what the CAQ was supposed to have taken care of,but no instead they took care of the least of the problems,the language and we are fed up .You know when you are a kid and your Parents nag you all the time and you cant take it that is what has become,we can not like the French language anymore it been shoved in our throats and removed our rights ,like your parents nagging you and removing all your toys when you were a kid and you all know how it feels if you had those kind of parents. I wish French people would understand and be on our side .
The fourth official language of Switzerland is Romansch, spoken by about 3% of the population mostly located in the southeastern part of the country.
montreal est la métropole économique et culturelle du Québec 100%
I would say there is far more "JOUAL" spoken in Montreal than the French language.. Most Montrealers love "JOUAL" and do not like the French language.. Montreal should become a "province" and leave the rest of Quebec..
I dont know what you're smoking, but you should stop
Quit smoking weeds
Joual is only a way to speak french. A dialect.
But it's french, like it or not. Very old one, in fact.
Le joual est tout simplement un registre très familier du français d'ici, l'équivalent du "slang" en anglais. Y'know whada mean?
Gah. Please don’t use the flag of France to represent the French language (or the flag of the United Kingdom to represent the English language). Why not just use the American flag? Or the Belgian flag? 🤢
Cause french is from france and english is from united Kingdom????
@@fabianr.8544 And this represents Quebec how?
@@passatboi clearly it's not representing Montreal, Québec or Canada, that was never the intention, is representing the language, that's why a language called french is represented by the country where it came out, anyways, its not logical at all representing English with american flag cause english is not from there and american doesn't represent Québec either. He's not talking about what represents quebec, is talking about languages and yes, is called french, cause its from France so logically the flag is french too
@@fabianr.8544 also I don't know what he expects to represent English as? He wouldn't use the Canadian flag because it represents both the English and the French
@@gregoryaldous2165 And Belgium is a tri-lingual country: French, Dutch/Flemish and German...
No MTL isn't french and never be I'm from Quebec Montreal I leave in Ontario Ottawa for 18 years Quebec is racist first language should be English like all the country Trudeau is racist I do not want cross the bridge to go in Quebec this have to stop why Quebec can adapted they self like all people in Canada we should ban french and all language is an English country and should stay that way and equal for all provinces no exceptions period
You’re saying Québec is racist but you think we should ban french…
You just proved you're the racist with your comment, yes Montreal was founded by French people the proof The name Montreal means Mont Royal in old French😂
Says the woman who has a french name "Chantal Fortin"...
my god this comment is hilarious that’s exactly why quebec want to become a country
Is Montreal really French.....I dunno, but if it ever wants to become even a smidge relevant again it better become more Canadian......Toronto ate it’s lunch in the 1970s and 1980s because of the French dominated politics, when it drove business, immigration, and money from it to Toronto, making Toronto THE dominant city in Canada, and a top North American city as well. Montreal has become irrelevant since with ...Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary eclipsing it for importance. I really don’t ever see Montreal gaining importance again.
Sad but true!
