How did french come to Canada?

Answer 1

France used to own large parts of Canada, like Britain used to own large parts of the US.

Much of Canada was originally settled by french immigrants, but the french speaking colonists were defeated by the English during the French and Indian War in September of 1759. English became the language of the vast majority of Canadians, and less than 4 percent of Canadians living outside quebec still speak french as their primary language. Less than 25 percent of all Canadians speak french, and about 85 percent of these live in the french-speaking province of quebec, where English is not allowed to be taught in the public school system.
