The guy I was sharing driving duty with is usually a calm guy but he lost his temper outside of the City of Quebec.
I saw him walking away from a pay phone swearing - F@cking Frog!!! F@cking French!!!
My god? He was very upset!
He told me that he tried to make a phone call to New Brunswick and it was only in F@cking French!!!
I told him to calm down! < Imagine me telling someone to calm down? >
Lol
Anyway...I dialed the number and a recording came and said - Patienter.....
A couple of seconds later, it came again - Patienter....
..and again Patienter....
One minute later, the direction came in French and English.
I asked the guy if he knew what Patienter meant?
He didn’t have a clue!!
It means- Have Patience!!!
Lol
There was a guy who couldn’t understand le Francais listening to a recorder saying- Have Patience and he was shouting at the recording!!
Lol
Only in Quebec.
But more surprised laid ahead of us on our trip back to New Brunswick!!!
Stay tuned!!

French group slams The Beer Store
By TOM VAN DUSEN
The Ottawa Sun
EMBRUN -- An open letter written by a local woman accuses a francophone rights group of "ultimate bigotry" following a rally it staged at The Beer Store here earlier this month.
"They try to hide it as something else," Elizabeth Trudeau said of the group, "but they're looking for French-first speaking employees in this area."
Trudeau said her daughter Amanda, a store employee, was harassed by members of the group trying to determine her proficiency in French.
During the event Nov. 2, some 15 seniors and retirees stuck paper hearts bearing the message "J'aime vivre en francais" -- "I love to live in French" -- on The Beer Store window to underline its total lack of French signage.
The OPP was called in and looked on while group members applied heart stickers on the windows of Your Independent and LCBO stores, this time to congratulate them on fully bilingual signs.
"It was a love affair, not a protest," said group president Marc Ryan, who congratulated OPP officers for providing services in two languages. "This is a French pride movement, not an anti-English movement."
You would think,you would then,go live in french,and let those,who want to live in English,do do.
BUT we all know,That is not the agenda.
