I lived for two years in Toronto, the metropolis of this supposedly bilingual country. I never spoke french, and I would not have lived in French if I had wanted to. Paradoxically, I lived for a year as an anglophone in Montreal (lived with anglophones, studied in english, worked in a Westmount boutique). I never had a problem, only when I called back home in Quebec (my vocabulary seemed...distant). What we have here are two visions: one in the realm of the "official" word, where Anglophones cannot put signs in English only and Francos outside of Quebec can supposedly live in French. The other is the actual real world, where it's a LOT easier to live in english in Montreal than it is to live in French in the greater part of Anglophone Canada. This, of course, from personal experience - though I know of other who've shared similar experience.
