Ages ago, I dated a Chinese-Canadian guy originally from Montreal . He could read and write all 3 languages. I'm always totally impressed to meet some (not all) of the Asian-Canadians in Quebec who master all 3 languages.
I was in the Eastern Townships, another world from Montreal in feel and ethnic composition.
