I find that very hard to believe as from my experience living in Montreal its the rare event where i'll get served by a unilingual Anglophone, in fact i cant remember it ever happening, Where is it you are having a hard time getting served in French? sounds like some place i might want to move to.
As for= Je suis chez moi ici.? Whats that supposed to mean?
Je suis chez moi ici = is like, It's my home. I do live here.
The last 2 time I came to Montreal I got served by anglophone (restaurant, summer 2013). They didn't speak french.
Everywhere I went, more than half was speaking in english (I guess some were franco). Metro - street - restaurant.
Quebec is french, like I said, stop making Montreal the center of it.
"English" hospitals in Quebec are bilingual. And yes, I do in fact think that the provincial government should accommodate a linguistic minority of 1 million people. The federal government accommodates French Canadians, as do many other provinces, including, but not limited to, New Brunswick, Ontario and Manitoba.

Je suis chez moi ici
Guess that saying applies to this Anglo as well,as its my home and i live here to.
If all these businesses were not serving you in French then make complaints to your Office Quebecois de la Langue Francais thats its main mandate to eradicate English, language police would have been on scene in short order..
Who is actually making Montreal the center of Quebec French? could it be because Montreal is the financial hub of Quebec?,Take Montreal out of the game and what have you got?
As for your demographics Quebec is
8% Anglophone
8% Allophone
The remainder being French
As for crying you seem to be the only one whining on this topic
As for paying for English hospitals you got a short memory as in the mid 90's the separatist government of the day closed 10 English hospitals.
We have to learn a second language like everyone else.
But Montreal is a city of Quebec. Why do we always must be like american (english). We are not them. I think that if you are here, that's because you want to be a part of us. If not, stop complaining about everything you have not and get out. Would you like to see Vancouver to turn franco. I guess not. That's the same thing.
French Canadians outside of Quebec have the right to send their children to French public schools if they are a francophone, and the right to post signs with French as large as they want. Quebec is not anglicising. The anglophone population has been declining in percentage since at least 1960. That's over 50 years now. Even before Bill 101, if you can believe it. Can you at least agree with us that Quebec is bilingual, not just French?
