I was in Montreal over the long weekend (at least it's a long weekend in Ontario) and was struck by the lack of French spoken downtown, but it is entirely possible the vast majority of people seen were tourists. I dated a francophone for about 18 months who lived in Montreal-Nord and the farther you go away from downtown core (east especially) the French language is still prevalent and in my opinion in no danger of declining.
''Long weekend in Ontario'' is a key element of your post. Not saying there aren't native anglos living in the city, but certainly on weekends like that the number of people speaking English in downtown especially will increase a lot.
I visited Montreal on average once a month from 2003 to 2010. I certainly didn't notice any decline in French usage. One thing I did notice, however, was that Montreal was as bilingual as it was during my first visits back in the 80's, whereas Quebec City had become equally bilingual. I remember in the mid-80's needing a dictionary in QC - even in the shops. Not anymore. I found myself making two trips way up to the Lac St Jean region to have that full-on French experience I once could have in QC. But that wasn't all bad as the Lac St Jean region is well worth visiting. Personally, I don't care whether those francophones speak English or French. They sound sexy in both.
