That old yarn. It's quasi-true at times. I had a conversation with a guy in Tim Hortons in the Plateau once where he would speak only in French and I would only respond in English. Not in an interesting, "oh! we're bilingual" sort of way. In a kind of "fuck you. you're in Quebec. I will speak French!" sort of way. But really it's pretty rare in Montreal. And if you wanted, you can just stay in the West where everyone's English. It's a bit more usual once you get outside of Montreal where you meet people who don't actually speak English (can you imagine such a thing?).
