Best Answer

Canada is predominantly an English-speaking country, based off its British heritage. About 22% of Canadians speak French and they are mostly based in Quebec. Quebec used to be a French colony while the rest of Canada was a British colony, and they eventually united to become Canada.

Although Canada is predominantly an English country, it is officially recognized as being bilingual: French andEnglish to recognize the history that Canada was created from a French and English colony.
