For a remote outsider - is the divide between quebec and rest of canada not just a language one?

  The short answer is no, it is much more than that! The long answer involves several hundreds of years of history…

  It is significantly more than that. One major example: quebec has a separate legal system for civil matters, based on french civil law. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quebec_law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quebec_law)

  (Brit here) While working on a contract in Ottowa, I asked about Quebec which was just next door. My hosts explained that Canada and Quebec is like Britain would be if you put Scotland in the middle between Southern and Northern England.
