Question

I need information on French Canadians please!?

Answer 1

French Canadians, residents of Canada who speak the French language, especially the descendants of settlers from France who immigrated to the colonies of New France and Acadia between 1604 and 1760. In 1991 French-speaking Canadians numbered 6.5 million, constituting 24.1 percent of the nation’s 27 million citizens.

A large majority of French Canadians live in the province of Québec. The more than 5.6 million Québécois, or French-speaking residents of Québec, make up 82 percent of that province’s 6.8 million citizens. More than 80 percent of all Québec residents live in urban areas, the vast majority residing in the metropolitan region of Montréal. Barely 3 percent actively engage in agriculture. Québécois control the province’s political, economic, and social institutions. The legal system of Québec is based on French civil law, while the rest of Canada uses a system based on English common law. Canadian law requires that three of the eight members of the Canadian Supreme Court be trained in the French legal tradition to represent Québécois interests.

Another 1 million French Canadians are scattered throughout Canada’s nine other provinces and two territories. The 485,000 French-speaking residents of Ontario, or Franco-Ontarians, form the largest Francophone community outside of Québec. Acadians, numbering 242,000, constitute one-third of the population of New Brunswick. French-speaking communities in Ontario and the western provinces of Canada have far less political and economic power than the Québécois or the Acadians. Yet they too have managed to retain their language and modernize their cultures despite tremendous pressure to adopt the language and manners of the English-speaking majorities in those provinces.
