English-Canadian

Non-Francophone from Canada

English-Canadian describes people, culture, or things associated with the English-speaking population of Canada, as distinct from French-Canadians or other linguistic communities.

The term identifies Canadians whose primary language is English and who typically trace cultural roots to British settlement rather than French colonization.

It appears in discussions of Canadian identity, politics, and the country's linguistic divide: English-Canadian media covered the Quebec referendum extensively.
