My wife and I once visited Lac Megantic, Quebec. We committed the crime of wearing Hawaiian shirts and shorts. We were ogled like extra terrestrials. Even though I had high school French one and two we were not very fluent and that further irritated the locals.

Food packaging had French on one side and English on the other. A box of cereal had Capitaine Crouche on one side and Captain Crunch on the other. Smurfs were Les Stroumps

The final blow came when we attempted to pay for something with American money.

That part of Canada was not very hospitable at all.
