Ontario here. A few websites have been persistently trying to show me French. The fact that my dynamic IP sometimes shows up as being in Montreal doesn't help at all. But some websites just seem to assume that all Canadians speak French! Luckily, most Anglo-Canadians know by instinct where to locate the English version. We've been thoroughly trained to do that :)
I wonder what it's like in Switzerland.
