isn't there a lot more to a culture than just language? by pushing french so much in their province, they are isolating themselves economically. english is the language of business and if people don't have a good grasp of it, they are limited to doing business locally. not to mention there is english culture in quebec as well going back just as far as the french do. they just get shut out because they're the minority.
