This post is barely, somewhat Hot tub related, only for the fact that we all have hot tubs.
If moderators want to 'kick this to the curb' so be it.  This is the only place I know to contact folks north of the border.
My family goes on a trip every other year and we are somewhat looking at Canada in 2011, somewhere between Winnipeg towards Quebec City. 
Here are some of my questions, you can either put your answers here or via PM.
Is it necessary to speak French in Montreal or Quebec City or anywhere else?
As a tourist would you stay in Old Quebec vs. Quebec City?
Would you take a vacation in Winnipeg?  Providing you don't already live there.
Is there anywhere in Canada you would highly recommend visiting, no matter where?
Is there anywhere in Canada you would tell a tourists to stay away from?
Of the major/semi major cities Winnipeg to Quebec City is there one you would recommend?
We are planning on a late July visit so any snow festivals/carnivals are out.
Thanks in advance, have a nice soak.

I'm south of the border, in Jersey actually.

My findings about 25 years ago in Montreal was not that pleasant. People only wanted to speak French even in a McDonalds so if you can speak French so much the better IMO. Sorry to say people were even rude.  Honestly, my wife and I cut our trip short due to how we were felt we were being treated. Of course this is being told to you by an English only speaking American - LOL!!  ;)

If you do go to Montreal check out the subway, I was there about 33 years ago and it was fantastic. I went with my brother in law who grew up there and showed me around. The architecture around the city is beautiful and they still had the expo grounds there as well.

Hopefully things have changed in Quebec.

A place I'd like to go to is the Canadian Rockies. A friend of mine showed me pictures of them when he went on vacation and they were beautiful!

Just checking to make sure this isn't a thread telling people how to avoid the border patrol.
