Maybe I'm an ageist, but I think that the elderly are less likely to beat up English speaking tourists than young people are.

But hey, don't let that stop your factually-deprived West-bashing. dan, nobody would care because the only people at the Calgary Stampede parade are tourists, small children (and their parents, who are too harried to even notice someone else’s shirt), and cops.

They're out there, making life harder for the rest of us, but they are in the minority. @angry: I can’t deny what experiences you’ve had, but I believe that the “many” you have encountered don’t a significant proportion of the population.

Many anglophones and especially anglicized immigrants can react very negatively if you speak in french to them. I am talking from experiences here.

And I felt the same way about her first big expose, when she was offered a job by some businesses while claiming no knowledge of English. She's reasonably attractive, I suppose. And young. And petite. I think that skews the results. I have a feeling I would have gotten my ass kicked.
