Chances are you were busted just by the way of how you pronounced bonjour.

And, what you're wearing, and the lack of cigarettes, and they way you walk, and lean against the counter, and how close you do or don't stand, and a bunch of other clues.

Not necessarily. Depending where they grew up in Canada, they might have a decent background in basic French. Enough to get a decent accent and know their colours, days of the week, greetings, and other simple stuff. I think the provinces close to Quebec/New Brunswick generally have decent French instruction in public school, but BC/AB/SK have terrible French education at most schools.

But ain't no way most English-speaking Canadians have the vocabulary or comprehension speed for any real functional use.
