Ho! I didn't know about this. We are more strict and cleaner? I don't go so often in other provinces since I don't travel a lot these days. But I can say that in Ottawa, canadian capital, it is very clean also.

But often to get a job here in Quebec we have no choice to be bilingual. The majority of tourists are English speaking and a lot of industries (like were I work) use a lot of English. We speak French in the office, but all the work is in English. Other canadians don't like the idea to be forced to learn French (they are not, but since Canada is officialy bilingual, it could happen....) and I consider myself very lucky to be able to talk, write and speak both.
