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

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.
