In Quebec, unlike in some European countries as you note, it is possible to completely disinherit one’s family, except for obligations that must be respected such as support. This support issue will not come into play unless you or your siblings were financially dependent on your father.
However, the fact situation you describe sounds like there may have been undue influence. This is a ground for contesting the Will although it's one that's clearly difficult to prove.
If there are witnesses to this influence such as your father's best friend this would help.
You will need to retain a lawyer of course and ultimately you will need one who practices in Quebec.
What would make sense now is for you to consult with an estate lawyer who practices at a large firm with offices in Canada, preferably Quebec. There are many multi-national law firms and if you can find one your home city that would be optimal for you.
I hope that helps as a starting point.
