HUH excuse me shitlord, fuck you, having access to english is in Quebec part of primary school education that's free for everyone. It's not a fucking privilege moron.
If I'm going to say I have a native's level in english, I sure as hell not going to use "It's not my first language" excuse, except in VERY specific cases, like idiomatic expressions that you rarely hear even in normal conversations, that even most native speaker rarely hear.
I can understand taking french in Ontario and forgetting it because you don't use it. THAT SAID!
IT DOES NOT represent the language situation in Quebec, except if you live under a fucking rock.
Why is english easier to maintain day to day as a second language than any other language? SIMPLE.
- The ease of learning it. You don't have to learn a new Alphabet. The sentence structure is very close to french
- IT'S FRIGGIN EVERYWHERE:
English on the internet is not a fucking luxury, it's like the basic skillset.
You can maintain and improve English day to day SIMPLY by browsing and reading online, as
the amount of content available in english is massive, so
there are more odds you find content in English tailored to your interests, than say, in Spanish, Portuguese, or Japanese.

You don't brag you were the best in school when what was taught to you was lost. Or not even memorized in the first place. FFS.
This raises a question: How does she manage to understand all those links from news site she shares on Facebook?
Let's get a video or some testimonies from people who speak english and see how she does. I'm pretty sure she fucked up and tries to blame the circumstances out of her control.
No. Spanish is most of the time useless here because we're not close to Mexico. It's as much of a flavour language as any other third language. Chinese or Japanese even would make more sense I'd say, as they are the 2nd & third world economic power respectively.
