He doesn't speak much french at all, trust me. Even today you can very well live in Montreal without any issue as an unilingual anglophone, so imagine back in the 60s and 70s when the anglos were basically running the town.

And when Kevin tried to run as prime minister of Canada with the Tories a couple of years ago, he quickly realized he had no chance to win because the polls showed him he would not get any support from his home province due to his lack of proficiency in french.
