It feels like Quebec trying to keep French a main language in Canada is like trying to hold back a flood with Popsicle sticks. Its use is increasingly confined to just their one territory and practically no one there exclusively speaks French.

There's just under 3 million francophones in Canada outside Québec, and only around 47% of people in Québec are French-English bilingual (which is still the highest rate of any province, to be fair).

There are francophone communities all across the country, from BC to PEI, from Yukon to southern Ontario. There's also a substantial percentage of people in Québec who are unilingual francophones.
