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.

In Quebec, the law is that the public has an affirmative right to be served in French: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charter_of_the_French_Language http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charter_of_the_French_Language and fines are issued for violators: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/french-still-under-threat-in-quebec-judge-finds-in-bill-101-case-1.2934573 http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/french-still-under-th... I don't know if this counts as "bizarre" or not, but it's certainly unusual, since other provinces do not do this.
