  1. Quebec is the only predominantly French-speaking province in Canada.  Occupying over 1.5 million square kilometres of land - more than 15 per cent of Canada's total territory - Quebec is Canada's largest province. About six million of Quebec's total population of over seven million are French-speaking, making the province, which joined Confederation in 1867, the only predominantly francophone territory on the continental mainland and home to one of the largest French-speaking communities outside France.

    New Brunswick, which is the largest of Canada's three Maritime provinces is also Canada's only official bilingual province, with nearly 35 per cent of its residents French-speaking.

    Nova Scotia on the east coast, another Maritime province and known as Canada's Ocean Playground, also has a number of French-speaking communities; mainly descendents of the Acadians that populated Nova Scotia in the 18th century when the British and French fought for control over its territory.

    Winnipeg, the capital city of Manitoba - Within one Winnipeg neighbourhood, St. Boniface, resides one of the country's largest concentrations of French-speaking Canadians west of Ontario.


  2. mainly quebec and the acadian parts of new brunswick, but mostly quebec.

  3. Quebec.

    New Brunswick is the only legally bilingual province, but I don't think it's exactly predominantly French-speaking.
