I encountered many hostile responses when in uniform in Quebec, and a great many positive responses from the young ladies, so I call it a net win ;D. I also recall my line course, where the lingua franca in my room was French because there was one lone BC sig (me), two Quebecois, and an Ottawa Native whose second and third languages were French and English. They were all good troop, and if they were out of step with Quebec public opinion.....well most of my fellow UBC students viewed soldiers as either something barbaric that the only the Americans had, or some sort of sociopath training school. Quebecois may riot against conscription, and demonstrate against deployment, but when the 22nd deploys, you can bleeding bet the job will get done.
