You can't get a fine for speaking English, or any other language. Those are fundamental rights and freedoms. Freedom of speech.
'English Police'
Prof's post I was thinking of...
You probably can't get a fine for just speaking it. But those links go into more detail on what I've heard.

Actually many Quebecers are bilingual, the thing that make french out is that many traditionnalists want to keep French as the official language. Not that I'm a traditionnalist or revolutionnist, but I don't care since I can cope (but not always very well) with both languages, and I'm not biased towards or against any language.
The problem is that attitude of some nationalist Quebecers make many English-speaking people going against all of us (we're not all arrogant people)

this is true, unfortunately I have found Quebec to be an exceedingly unfriendly place to visit every time I've been.
Yeah, it's pretty sad, some spots in Quebec are very welcoming but others are leaving people in the cold
(no pun intended here)

Maybe we'll like this one better:
... You Know You're a Canadian when . . . .
1) You only know three spices - salt, pepper and ketchup.
2) Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled in with snow.
3) You think sexy lingerie is tube-socks and a flannel nightie with only 8 buttons.
4) You owe more money on your snowmobile than your car.
5) The local paper covers national and international headlines on 1 page, but requires 6 pages for hockey.
7) At least twice a year, the kitchen doubles as a meat processing plant.
8) The most effective mosquito repellent is a shotgun.
9) Your snowblower gets stuck on the roof.
10) You know which leaves make good toilet paper.
11) You find -40C a little chilly.
12) The trunk of your car doubles as a deep freezer.
13) You attend a formal event in your best clothes, your finest jewelry and your Sorrels.
14) You actually get these jokes and forward them to all your Canadian friends.
Damn, that reminds me. I have to move some of my beer into the fridge. The shelf under the sink isn't cold enough anymore.
