From my experience as someone who lives in Alberta and who considers himself English Canadian, no one here actively hates french language or culture. We simply don't have enough of a need for french or enough of a cultural presence to really embrace it, and anyone who wants to has to actively go out of their way to do so. Maybe it's different in Ontario, but it isn't racism or hate. We simply don't use it

Albertans don't hate on French Canadians, they hate on Quebec specifically.

Hell, my friend went to work in the oil fields and had his car (with Quebec plate) vandalized at work in the first week he was there because he didn't have the time to register it in Alberta and was then told by other people it happened to that it's just what happens to all Quebecois over there...
