I had some of my best times in Quebec (City). I felt super welcome despite only speaking English.

I do understand where you're getting at though, and trust me, if you go to Berlin and you only speak English, you'll get far worse than you would from the Québécois for doing the same.

It's almost like those Americans who give people shit for not speaking English, except we have even less entitlement to that.

As a French Canadian this is unfortunately true the further north you go.
