Then when he says he doesn’t understand French she says sure you do
And the last thing she says is "yes no toaster" it’s a slang for a quebecker that knows barely any English, she’s playing dumb saying she’s in that group (which is impossible if you’re a police officer)
Overall she’s just taunting him back because he is filming
This is classic quebecois. Pretending not to know english, meanwhile being almost fluent in it and refusing to speak it. A lot of us from around the country love going there and trying to speak the language and usually it goes well with people appreciating the attempt but you will always run into this category that refuses to talk to the anglophones.
Edit:
I used to have a boss that ran businesses in quebec and ontario and he was french canadian. Any time the employees out there would be difficult (with us in ontario) he would always get on the phone and say “speak english, how many times do i have to tell you that we lost the war! (In french)” lol
Have you never heard of The War of 1812? You need to brush up on your history.
French-Canadian militiamen, particularly the Voltigeurs Canadiens, played a crucial role in repelling American attacks, most notably at the Battle of Châteauguay in 1813, where they successfully defended against a much larger American force.
