My understanding is that they also legally require French to be used in a variety of contexts (with "language police"). If so, that is significantly different than most other places - and may feel "bizarre".

For example, you are free to run a restaurant with employees that do not speak English in the US, but you are not allowed to run a restaurant with only English speakers in Quebec.

Let me just say this: Nothing you wrote is remotely true.

Not. A. Single. Thing.

In Quebec, the law is that the public has an affirmative right to be served in French:

and fines are issued for violators:

I don't know if this counts as "bizarre" or not, but it's certainly unusual, since other provinces do not do this.

I didn't mean to offend. This is merely how it was described to me. I have read a little, but I could be off. I have seen things like:
