With the types I have in mind, I'll be very surprised if they have a culture besides the resentment over long ago having been the provincial top dogs and that no longer being the case (and over the resultant perceived humiliation of being expected to learn French, when in their minds they're better than that and than the people who speak it).
Having said that, my original post was to say that my opinions on this have softened somewhat due to, among others, certain personal circumstances, the idiocy of the provincial politicians implementing French-only policies etc.
