Mostly.
Quebec is something like 60-70% rench speaking. But then there are french speaking communities throughout Ontario, and New Brunswick, and to a lesser extent every other country. We live in Ontario, and my son goes to a french only school. He's fully bilingual at 4.5 years old.

The Canadian Embassy in Washington on flies the Canadian flag.
The "National" Assembly in Quebec doesn't fly the Canadian flag at all!
Rob would you seriously expect the quebec parlement to fly the canadien flag? Does any of the Canadien province national assembly fly the canadien flag? i would guess, but maybe not. But what's to point?

Embassies are sovereign territory of the representative country. IE: the US embassy in Canada is US territory & vice-versa. You go into a country's embassy, you are *IN* that country.
As for PEI, they fly the Canadian flag as you would expect them to.
As for Quebec, they consider Quebec City to be the "national capitol" which I think many outside of Quebec find offensive.

Queen's Park (seat of provincial government in Ontario) also flies the Canadian flag.
So does Saskatchewan. I'm not going to spend all day looking up the rest.
The point? Flying another flag in Canada, without also flying the Canadian flag, really isn't a big deal. Especially in Quebec.
