Surprisingly Nick, after Montréal, the Laurentian (Mont-Trembant) region is the most bilingual area in Québec!
Just take me along next time, I'll be your official translator (yay, free trip!)
And the Olympic Stadium is in perfect shape! (ahem...) It has never caused any problems and is a great symbol of Montréal's ability to deal with great projects! (it's such a lie it almost hurts tipping it!)
I'll try to figure something out though, a meet-up in my own country is a great occasion to take a little trip! (Dad? Daaad!)
Off topically: Mike, my dad, my brother and I made a road trip to New-Brunswick when I was a kid and I'll never forget the experience! I'm sure it will be the same for your friends kids...if the family ever comes back in one piece!
