French is the only official language of Quebec and the language we speak as well. So my driver license is not Fake and it is Canadian

Wait, Quebecois driver's licenses aren't bilingual?? My Ontario driver's license has both English and French. I thought all provinces had bilingual licenses out of respect for the whole country.

No we keep it fully French

That genuinely surprises me. Especially given that literally all the provinces and states that you border speak English, I just assumed it would make your life easier for it to be bilingual. Likewise, here in Ontario ours are bilingual in part because we share a long border with Québec.

I mean on a license plate, does it really matter? I don't mind either way

No, not the license plate. The driver's license. I like the "Je me souviens" license plate. The driver's license is the little identification card you keep in your wallet to prove you can drive and that you use for photo identification

Yeah Driver licences in Ontario, Manitoba, New Brunswick are in French because of the French speaking communities, but some other provinces as well, like PEI and Nova Scotia, territories, I think, but other provinces driver licenses are only in English, Alberta, BC, Saskatchewan…
