   Oh, yes.. Been there.. Tabernac everything..  B)   
      
   .. although 'Eat Crap' and such can work it's way in there..   
      
   I'd have to think about it. My sister-in-law is actually French from Quebec   
   but has lived in Ontario for 50 years. Obviously she is fluent in English   
   but even after all this time she still has a pretty strong French accent.   
      
   As far as protecting their language in Quebec, there is some merit to that   
   as everyone would slowly just use English more and more since it is the   
   language of 'money' and known by more from other countries as a second   
   language than any other language I'd think. Some French would have survived   
   as a cultural thing but it would probably be more like New Orleans is..
