Based on my past few years of experience in the Canadian Armed Forces I would say that an unilingual Anglo has much better career prospects than an unilingual Franco.
In other words, VANRIDERFAN is saying the opposite of what he's trying to say... if you're "French", your job opportunities / glass ceilings are actually
worse, not better. I mean someone like Dean McFadden can afford to speak crappy French but he would have never risen to such a position without fluency in English. Being a Francophone is a drawback, not a plus.
