I signed up just to leave a comment.
I find it shameful that the author constantly puts down Mme Harel's inability to want to speak english.
Just a reminder that French is the ONLY official language of the Province of Quebec and The City of Montreal, she doesn't need too, by law.
Sure it's nice sometimes to get out to another demographic, I mean she does speak some english after all. But I live in Ottawaa where there is a strong french minority and the mayor can't speak french.
The mayor of Toronto doesn't speak any minority language either.
What's the big deal?
Why can't anyone just respect the fact that Quebec is a francophone province.
