Quebeckers against bilingualism don't see a real difference. In their view, signage or services (such as schools) in both languages endanger the status of French. At least, that's how I understand their position.

Again that's a different meaning of bilingualism, the article is about people fluent in multiple languages. I assume most Quebeckers are bilingual as is.

No. Most Quebeckers are not bilingual, and many of them do not want to be bilingual, as they believe that if they became bilingual, French would lose status.

They really do mean all meanings of bilingualism.
