In a similar vein, a Quebecois separatist who lives next to
a friend of mine in des Laurentides fails to understand English
when spoken by a Canadian.  I have found that his comprehension
improves dramatically when speaking with an Australian (it certainly
can't be the accent!).

(Even so, I felt guilty enough about having no French vocab
that I took a series of French classes when I returned to Toronto.)
