Everyone identifies differently: Some are "Quebecois", some are "English" some are "french" some consider themselves just plain old Canadian but others prefer french Canadian or English Canadian.  There are alot of immigrants in Canada though and they do not consider themselves any of the above and then the natives make things more interesting.  The history of Canada is a bit sad you know the french lived with the natives but essentially largely took over their lands...then the English invaded a bit more brutally.  Killing alot of french Canadians and natives and moving them into one province and oppressing the french Canadians for years via the catholic church and reduced employment opportunities.  The history makes self identification interesting and touchy. A good idea is to let people correct you if you refer to them as the wrong thing...then the best idea is to let them self identify.

There are between 600,000 and 750,000 English people currently living in France.\n\nThe 60.2 million people in France are as follows: 92% French, 3% North African, 2% German, 1% Breton, 2% other.\n\nI hope this is helpful.

You don't say where you're from, but Vancouver people speak like Americans.  No offense to Canadians, but it's true.  I know many Canadians.\n\nWhatever makes you think that Canadians speak like the people of Hong Kong?  There is no British or Queen's English in Canada - it's North American and pretty hard to distinguish from much of the U.S.  Just listen to Michael J. Fox, Sarah McLaughlin, or Nelly Furtado if you don't believe it - not to mention Alex Trebek.

Canada is a country occupying the northern portion of North America, and is the world's second largest country in total area.\n\nOriginally inhabited exclusively by aboriginal peoples, Canada was founded as a union of British colonies, some of which had earlier been French colonies. A federal dominion of ten provinces with three territories, Canada peacefully obtained sovereignty from its last colonial possessor, the United Kingdom, in a process beginning in 1867 with its formation and ending in 1982 when Canada gained the authority to amend its own constitution.\n\nCanada is a parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy. Canada's head of state is its monarch, who is represented in Canada by the Governor General. The head of government is the Prime Minister.\n\nCanada defines itself as a bilingual and multicultural nation. Both English and French are official languages. In the early 1970s, Canada began to adopt policies based on the concepts of cultural diversity and multiculturalism. Many Canadians now view this as one of the country's key attributes.\n\nA technologically advanced and industrialized nation, Canada is a net exporter of energy because of its large fossil fuel deposits, nuclear energy generation, and hydroelectric power capacity. Its diversified economy relies heavily on an abundance of natural resources and trade, particularly with the United States, with which Canada has had a long and complex relationship, one which can be described as the strongest trade partnership in history.\n\nCapital Ottawa\n45°24′ N 75°40′ W \nLargest city Toronto \nOfficial language(s) English and French \nGovernment \n\n\nPopulation 32.4 million (37th)

the difference lies in the fact that the people of Quebec speak in a more lacked slang like way of speaking french rather then french "french" which is more formal in the that it is spoken. But if you were to learn french "french' it would not be hard to adjust to the way of speaking that we have. It is almost like going to britian if you are english.

I'm from Quebec, Canada! Our province is very bilingual : French comes 1st, but there is a lot of English speakers, too!\n\nI'm of French Canadian/Irish descent --- [Cork in da house, Marionette LOL]\n\nI do speak English sometimes [mostly at work, my parents barely know how to say "hi" LOL] but as it is not my 1st language I got this little hint of a French accent no matter what I do ;) \n\nBut I gotta say the French Canadian accent is VERY different from the accent people have in France... It's funny because WE can understand (and imitate!) them, but THEY don't get most of our local expressions...\n\nOnce I was chatting with this girl from Guatemala and when I told her I was French Canadian, she asked me if the Eiffel Towel was anywhere near my house... I was like "uh, no dear."

That's a broad question that is still not resolved in Quebec today.  It's the collide of two cultural identities French and English.  Before the quiet revolution French people were "opressed" by the richer and more educated English people.  French-Canadians got fed up with it and wanted to create their own nation.  They created the Parti Québécois in the province and the Bloc Québécois at the federal level to further the interests of French-CAnadians.  We actually had two referendums one in 1980 and 1995, both were lost by a small margin and another will probably take place in the future.  Anyways, if you do your own research and still have questions you can reach me at cynthia_c_croteau@yahoo.ca

Yes they did, primarily because they moved further away from the United Kingdom. Canada had originally been a colony, but over time they have become more and more independent, along with the rest of the Commonwealth countries. WWII marked a very fast decline in the British Empire. \n\nCanadians are very sensitive about the subject, and survey after survey shows that there is a lot of anti-American bias among Canadians. The French Canadians harbor their main resentment against the English Candians, but in English Canada, their "conservatives" are more apt to like the US, and their "liberals" (American definition) are more apt to dislike the US (Ha! just as American liberals/Democrats are apt to dislike the US!) Western Canada is by and large conservative and very comfortable with Americans. But, the fact remains that Canadians are very similar to Americans, much moreso than they are to any other country, so it's sort of the resentment between a big brother and his kid sister.

English is spoken in Britain, America, Canada and Australia.  In many non-English countries, English is the most common second language.

Canadians are part of the Commonwealth and so have common laws and morals with England and all the countries of the commonwealth. America just stands on there own even though there laws originated in England they have changed the laws and morals to prove they're better.
