I live in Montreal, my experience is that French people speak great English while most Quebecers can’t ask for the bathroom in English. Of course, the French people coming here are generally open minded compared to Jean-Guy from Brossard who not only shoots you a “yes-no-toaster” when you ask him if he speaks English but also thinks it’s the funniest thing he’s ever said.
I couldn’t stop in the street to look at a map without someone coming to see if I needed help. I didn’t I just needed to look at it, but in 10 seconds it took me someone would offer help.
I actually considered trying to movie there but I realised I need to also be fluent in French.
That’s up there as among the greatest cities I’ve ever been to. Sydney is my number 1 but Montreal can’t compare to the surf in Sydney so it’s not a fair comparison.

Montreal is an exceptionally nice place.

Maybe they just don’t like the québécois accent, it certainly has a very distinct sound.
