The land occupied by Canada was inhabited for millennia by various groups of aboriginal people. Beginning in the late 15th century, British and French expeditions explored, and later settled along, the Atlantic coast. France ceded nearly all of its colonies in North America in 1763 after the Seven Years' War. In 1867, with the union of three British North American colonies through Confederation, Canada was formed as a federal dominion of four provinces.[8][9][10] This began an accretion of additional provinces and territories and a process of increasing autonomy from the United Kingdom, highlighted by the Statute of Westminster in 1931 and culminating in the Canada Act in 1982, which severed the vestiges of legal dependence on the British parliament.

I C what you are saying, but I will not agree.

C'est La Vie.

coryallen2 04-30-2009 08:52 AM

OMG Are you denying you home countrys dominant culture?

zneergz 04-30-2009 09:55 AM

Yes, IMO Canada is not dominantly French.

coryallen2 04-30-2009 09:59 AM

Your dumb as hell. Everyone in Canada has a french accent, basically.

I'm not sure you know what you're talking about. There's only one french province in all of Canada: Quebec. Though the two national languages are French and English, only one province is predominantly French. I don't really see anyway to say otherwise.

zneergz 04-30-2009 10:02 AM

okay buddy. you are retarded, but you are also not really worth my time, so see you around jackass.

Blue 04-30-2009 10:04 AM

Also, don't you realize that Wikipedia bit goes against what you're saying?

That means they lost almost all of their colonies to the British.

How does any of that prove that the culture is predominantly French over English? Like I said in the post above, in 1763, France signed over almost all of it's colonies (presumably every one except Quebec) to the British.

Blue 04-30-2009 10:09 AM

Just because 9 million people speak French doesn't mean that it's predominantly French. People can speak two languages. Also, don't you realize the population is around 33 million, meaning probably about 24 million speak English at the least?

coryallen2 04-30-2009 10:11 AM

Blue if your so smart. What accent do people in Canada have?

zneergz 04-30-2009 10:18 AM

wow.

When did I say I was smart?

It depends on what part of Canada you're in. In Quebec, it'll mostly be French. In Ontario, it'll mostly be English Canadian (whatever that is). People from out east in Newfoundland have their own accent a bit too. I honestly think the Canadian accent is kind of hard to define, but it's predominantly based on English.

Honestly, how can you say otherwise? Out of 33 million, only 9 million speak French (and who's to say if they speak English too?). The French signed off almost all of their colonies to the British. Canada is not predominantly French. Only one province is predominantly French, and they wanted to separate from the rest of Canada.

Blue 04-30-2009 10:20 AM

Actually, thinking about it, I don't see how our accent is exactly relevant. The fact that out of 33 million people only 9 million speak French should tell you a lot.

coryallen2 04-30-2009 10:21 AM

You guys are turds. Look Canada's main accent is French. End of story.

No, it's not. I live here, I'm around it everyday and that's not true.

What honestly makes you think you know more then people who are actually part of whatever it is you're speaking of? How would you know Canada better then someone who lives there? How would you know cars better then a 15 year veteran mechanic? We as people don't know everything, and that's ok.

Blue 04-30-2009 10:25 AM

OK, how can you dispute these two facts....

1) Out of 33 million, only 9 million speak French.

2) France ceded almost all of it's colonies to the British.

Since you're such a fan of wikipedia too....

Quote:

English and French are the mother tongues of 59.7% and 23.2% of the population respectively,[119] and the languages most spoken at home by 68.3% and 22.3% of the population respectively.[120] 98.5% of Canadians speak English or French (67.5% speak English only, 13.3% speak French only, and 17.7% speak both).[121] English and French Official Language Communities, defined by First Official Language Spoken, constitute 73.0% and 23.6% of the population respectively.

How can a language which only dominates 23% of people be the dominant language? Only 13% of the people here only speak French.

coryallen2 04-30-2009 10:27 AM

I'm from Nove Scotia.

1.) Who cares out of 33 million 9 million speak french the other 24 million have a french accent or are bi lingual.

2.) Just because a contry loses its land dosent mean the land loses it's culture.
