Barak said she asked for help, in English, from the STM ticket-booth employee. A dispute erupted. The agent told her to ?go back to your country? and ?in Quebec, we can only speak French,? Barak said.
She said she immediately called the STM and filed a complaint, returning to the booth to advise the employee, who was knitting. She said she told the agent: ?I?m going to make sure you?re going to lose your job for what you said to me.?
At that point, Barak said, the employee ?got out of the booth and she literally had me in a headlock and she was just punching me.?
Jamie Salomon, who happened to be leaving the station when the incident occurred, said the ticket agent ?came out of the kiosk, slammed the door and started wailing on? Barak, repeatedly punching her. Salomon said he called 911 and started pounding on a turnstile and yelling in an attempt to stop the fight.
Didn't miss Barak hear?

It definitely looks like English is a foreign language at the Montreal Gazette - WTF is with all those icons/gibberish? Even the tread title is messed up...
When I went to Quebec, they called a hat a "chapeau". A house was a "maison." They called a car a "voiture." It's like those guys have a different word for .
Where they don't have a different word, they make one up.
Seriously.
It's stories like this that really ruin me on the idea of visiting Quebeck. I imagine that it does the same thing for many other people, as well.
That's OK, I'd rather you not come either.
Maybe they should stop using foreign currency as well.
You mean like this stuff?
