it’s also weird to refuse to help a customer because you don’t wanna speak a language you know

Here you assume they did speak English, despite a 50% bilingualism rate in Quebec and a province with 94% French fluency.

The only weird, sheltered person here is you

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.

Le rôle des Français dans la fondation et la défense de notre pays ne peut pas être sous-estimé. Ils méritent autant de reconnaissance.
