Not in Quebec. Maybe that was the case before the Quiet Revolution, but that hasn't been true for quite some time. It's English monophones who have limited career opportunities, especially outside of Montreal.

Also the French debates are hilarious and often quite informative, even to non-French speakers.

That makes your point even weirder. You realize that it's not necessary to be fluent in English to have a successful life and career in Quebec, but you still want to enforce it on them out of some misplaced hatred of the Parti Québécois?

You do realize it was the Federalists and the Quebec Liberal Party who came up with the whole language scheme for the province and by extension the country, right? It was a policy designed to keep Quebec Canadian. By making French the language of government, the language of business and commerce, etc, etc, they defused the rising nationalist movement
