Quebec is pretty well known for being a francophone province in Canada, and I'm aware there are pockets of various communities outside of Quebec such as in New Brunswick, Ontario, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, etc. where French is the dominant language. However, a visitor might not know that.
Would visitors get rude or weird stares from the locals if they came to such a place and started speaking English, like when they do the same in Quebec?
No. Frankly everyone in the country should have a decent command of either French or English and there are no valid excuses except not really wanting to be part of the larger society anyway.

Except for some new Canadians and a few elders. There is also a trilingual territory.
English is an established lingua franca outside of Quebec, and even in communities where most of the locals aren't anglophones people would not be offended or think it strange if an outsider came into their town and started conversations in English, because unilingual anglophones would be a common phenomenon in all of those provinces. Some people might not be confident in English and would communicate that, but they wouldn't be surprised by the situation.
