Quebec is not actually part of Canada.
Just joking, I've never been there. All the Quebecois I've met are pretty nice people, though!
Maybe try to learn some French? If for no other reason, maybe some Quebec girls will think you trying to speak their language is cute.

a french girl is actually 'taking care of me' , used to be my girlfriend back in high school 
condo to herself, with just me and the touring of quebec sounds amazing/mind-blowing itself. this could turn out to be a french romance in reality, shes hotttt!

I've been to Montreal, which was like the coolest city ever. People are really friendly (and most can speak english). Every sunday they have this huge gathering/drum circle/party in Mont Royale (sp?) park, be sure to check that out if you're gonna be in Montreal. Drugs were generally easy to find and pot smoking seemed to be very well tolerated by the cops.
I've always heard great things about the nightlife there too, but I was broke and travelling with a hippie bus at the time so I didn't get a chance to check that out 
Haven't been anywhere else in Quebec, but I hear there's a ton of beautiful towns and scenery.

i was in Quebec city and Montreal like 3 weeks ago. Had a lot of fun.
you will definitely be able to get away with english only in Montreal.. the girl i stayed with spoke 4 languages fluently and she said that was common for people in Montreal.
Quebec city on the other hand.. you can probably get by downtown or in the old walled city with english. once you leave there, it gets a little more difficult to communicate unless you know at least some french.
i took 3 years of french in high school but there was no one else to speak with in Philadelphia so i forgot a lot of it. after spending a week there i was definitely able to get around on my own without much trouble.
ALWAYS carry a map.
These links are your friend:
Wikitravel: http://wikitravel.org/en/Quebec_City http://wikitravel.org/en/Montreal
Car shares between Qc and Montreal are the cheapest (usually about $10-$15) http://allostop.com/ http://www.amigoexpress.com/

helllll yeah thanks for the hookup brother 
glad i'm going to a place with positive vibes. i'm actually staying with a girl who lives in montreal, overlooks the city and shit! i'll probably stay in montreal, because the trip is entirely up to her when she doesnt have class.
just hope i could score some good blow/mdma ! i'd be ecstatic, i got 10 days so i should have my fair share of mingling

i stayed with one girl who goes to Concordia and another girl who is a teacher at an all girls private high school.
we mostly hung out on Rue Sainte-Catherine.
im not the touristy type of traveler.. id rather chill in a bar or coffee shop than climb Mont Royal. thats just me though

Cause clearly hating everyone in a whole province makes sense.

Realistically, shit goes both ways. Lots of people don't like Quebec, mainly because the bloc quebecois is a major part of the canadian government but wants to desperate from Canada, and they usually are very very popular in Quebec.

i assume you are talking about the separatists.. that sentence didnt really make any sense.
i ran into a few people who were all about separating from the whole of Canada but it just wouldnt make any sense to do so.. Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador.. they would have to cross 2 borders every time they needed to ship something west. theyd be completely isolated from the rest of the country.
there is definitely a very strong sense of cultural identity in Quebec but the Quebecois need to be realistic about this.. it wouldnt work.
