Looks like it's simply earplug weekend for you. Unless you're willing to go out there and tell them to rev softer.

You can't tell them to be less awesome and badass.

Today my boyfriend was talking on the phone to his parents, in Serbian, and some guy walked by us, then came back to tell him to speak English because "this is Canada and we speak English here, and if you don't like it you can fuck off back to your own country because we don't need you in ours if you don't speak English." And he walked away.

I just thought, "Woah, how extremely rude"

Worst birthday ever. Also going to be on antibiotics and steroids for a bit; no drinking for me. Oh, and I'm not cleared to wrestle tomorrow. **** this noise.

That isn't just rude, that's ignorance.

In these kind of situations I can only really begin to understand someone being annoyed when two people are talking in a foreign language to each other to deliberately exclude others. Not because they are proud of their language or want to retain their identity or anything, but purely to exclude others. Even then there would be no need to say that to them though, I would just think it was a little rude of them to do that.

The only reason for him to say that to your boyfriend, given those circumstances, would be a dislike of all foreigners. If thats the case, then I doubt many people would be taking his side or seeing things from his point of view if he really is that narrow minded and offensive a person and I hope the next time he visits a foreign country he gets a good kick up the arse back over to you...although that may not be good for you guys.

Besides, you Canadians shouldn't be talking English anyway. Get your own fucking language.

Yeah because English isn't from England. You should tell that guy to start speaking Inuit or Navajo and **** off back to England.

How amazing to actually meet one of the people who OWN Canada! "Our country"? WOW! I hope your bf was suitably impressed!

It's unfortunately a common thing to every country that 1% of them at least will be intolerant and bigoted arseholes. Of these 1%, probably 0.5% will go around proving it by their actions. The other half will just stay at home, muttering under their breath drinking wicked strength whisky and clutching a shotgun, waiting for "the balloon to go up"...

Anyway, isn't French a major language over in beautiful Canada?

Mr. "this is Canada and we speak English here" needs to take a little trip to Quebec and try saying that.
