Quebec?
Was wondering... any expats in Quebec???
I used to live in Toronto, then lived for a number of years in the Middle East. Recently made the move to Quebec with family.
Not a very reasonable location for British expats, I realize, but was wondering if there are any here??

Edit: uh, I guess this should be moved to the off-topic section?

That being said I guess there are fewer of us here than in other provinces where English is first language.

Awesome! 
I guess it depends on the area (even in Montreal, there are some regions with higher Anglophone concentrations).

Re: Quebec?
Hey guys,
I currently live in an apartment building on Guy Street, a few minutes' walk from the Fine Arts museum. It's close to work, and there are quite a few Anglophones here, chiefly because of Concordia U (and not far down the road, McGill U).
I've struggled a few times with people who don't speak much English and who kept switching to French... But it's been fairly easy so far... (I've been here a few months now).
What's the situation with English language public schools?
And anyone can recommend an English language KG for my boy ?
