Just a small point - rural Quebec still has many unilingually French
areas so it is not unwillingness but inability that can lead to English
communication. My experience has been (as a lousy French speaker) that
the slightest effort to at least start with phrasebook French in rural
Quebec will lead to a very amicable and reciprocal effort by Quebecois
to communicate en anglais. With good will on both sides and respect by
English-speaking visitors, the experience can be fine and sometimes
good for a few laughs later on.
