From my limited experience I think for the most part they appreciate it I you try. I failed French in high school, did poorly in Spanish. Currently my limited knowledge of French stems from being a 3 or 4 year old and watching the forerunner to Mr Roger's Neighborhood, The Children's Corner on Public TV in Pittsburgh. There were a couple of songs, one featured the days of the week, the other was counting.

Im still fairly fluent in Yinzer still

Trump caved. Canada should agree to join the union only if granted equal representation with other states in Congress. Each Province should be allowed two Senators and equal proportionment in the House using South Dakota as a base. The same with Greenland.

I was in Sydney (Australia, not Nova Scotia) some years ago and walked into a store apparently run by an Asian lady. I took something to the counter to buy and tried to make light jokey conversation with her. She seemed somewhat nonplussed—she clearly wasn't used to that kind of thing from customers.

Interesting encounter. I wonder an Asian's experience of Australia is different than an anglo's? i.e - are Aussies less interactive with Asians than with anglos? We spent a little time in Australia and generally found people pretty outgoing - at least enough we never noticed a difference, but (and this was about 15 yrs ago) Aussie society was still in the throes of their struggles with racism - issues were on the news basically every night - reminded me a bit of the US in the '60s.

daughter and I were shopping at the Dulles Expo center walmart on Sunday afternoon...location is same parking as the Gun show that was going on.  Same steady stream of people coming out with firearms as always.  I'm sure the bubbas were also stocking up on Nazi and white power regalia in there.

The reminds me of when Trump tried to take on the NFL and ended up collapsing the USFL. 

That is definitelty the Trump I remember.  That and an unhealthy obsession with girls in beauty pageants.
