French Canada

Quebec and vicinity

French Canada refers to the regions of Canada where French is the predominant language and French-Canadian culture prevails, most notably Quebec but also parts of New Brunswick, Ontario, and Manitoba.

The term encompasses both the geographic areas and the distinct cultural identity of French-speaking Canadians, including their language, traditions, Catholic heritage, and historical ties to France.

French Canada has long advocated for preservation of its linguistic rights.
