They are not supposed to, but the reality is that some establishments give preferential treatment to francophones.

some laws definitely do. Mostly the language laws that require larger french lettering on signs and mandatory frech business names. But as an Anglophone in quebec, I do understand that they are just tryign to preserve the french culture and languare in this increasuingly multicultral and assimilating world. There are several sides to every issue.
In general, there is no problem being an english speaking person in Quebec but it really helps to speak french if you want to live and work here. C'est bon the parler plusieurs langues!

The law in Quebec states that all signs must be in French. In the rest of Canada, signs have to be bilingual. Truth is, in the West, most signs are in English only and if they have any French it's tiny.

It's a bit of a grey area.

All French-speakers get preferential treatment in Quebec. You don't have to be French Canadian.

It s Quebecs inhabitants in its province vs. The unequal representation by using inhabitants of Canada s political gadget bent the foundation of the subject.

They don't "officially" discriminate.
