@duali says "... it was Scots who fought with the French in Quebec against the English who urged them to ensure they had language rights..."
Where did you get that ?
Québec is “officially” French speaking since 1774-
(but we all know that it is since its foundation in 1608)

The past & present MINORITY of the Ghetto Anglo Montrealers (7%) of all of Québec is to blame here for not consciously recognize the “Québec Act” (an Act for making more effective Provisions for The Government of the Province of Québec in North America) 
was a British statute which received royal assent 22 June 1774 and became effective 1 May 1775;
- it re-established the French language rights (got it Anglo Canada ?);
-+ Catholic faith; 
-+ French civil law...”
