1. The historical homeland of the French Canadian people, the St. Lawrence River valley, which was called '' Le Canada '' in the time of New France , and corresponds to the southern part of modern Quebec excluding the Eastern Townships . Later, this Canada was renamed the Province Of Quebec ( 1763 ), Lower Canada ( 1791 ), Canada East ( 1840 ), and finally the Province of Quebec ( 1867 ) again.
2. All the communities where French Canadian s have settled in North America. In this interpretation, Gravelbourg, Saskatchewan , Hawkesbury, Ontario , Montreal, Quebec , Manchester, New Hampshire , Burlington, Vermont are part of French Canada, while Pontiac , Stanstead and most First Nations in Quebec are not. French Canadian communities in the United States were called " Little Canadas ".
3. All the Canadian communities where there is a significant concentration of Francophone Canadians, that is, Canadian citizens who speak French and use it as their principal language. In that sense, it is Quebec , parts of New Brunswick , Eastern Ontario , Northern Ontario , and Saint-Boniface, Manitoba .
These Canadian Francophones refer to themselves as '' Québécois '' in Quebec , '' Acadiens '' in the Canadian Maritimes , '' Fransaskois '' in Saskatchewan , '' Franco-Manitobains '' in Manitoba , '' Franco-Ontarien s'' in Ontario , '' Franco-Albertain '' in Alberta and '' Franco-Colombiens '' in British Columbia . With the exception of the Acadia ns who have a different history altogether, most French-Canadians originated from Quebec. See Also: English Canada |
