New Brunswick

'''New Brunswick''' is [[Canada]]'s only bilingual province. Though officially bilingual, it is not necessarily the case that one traveling to New Brunswick will be able to get along in their native tongue. The majority of Francophones speak passable English (particularly in the south), while the majority of Anglophones can scarcely ask where the washroom is in French. The situation is further muddled by the development of a local dialect known as ‘Sheiac’ ‘Chiac’ - a combination of 400 year old French, English, and slang which has somehow coagulated into a functioning (if occasionally bewildering) language unto itself.
Having said that, New Brunswick is a fantastic place to hike. Of the three Maritime Provinces (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island) I have consistently found New Brunswick to be the easiest place to get a lift, to the degree that one may occasionally hitch from point A to point B in as little time as it would have taken them to drive.
