The English:)
English and French are the main languages in Canada.68% of Canada speak English as their first language.12% of Canada speak French as their first language.The remaining 20% speak one of the dozens of Native Canadian languages as their first (these native ones are not official languages because there are so many)
Even though Canada is bilingual, only one province has French and English as their official languages. In Quebec they speak French as their first and everywhere else it is English
French is mostly spoken in Quebec but since Quebec is part of Canada then they recognize it as Canada's second language but Quebec has tried many different ways and wants to be its own country. It speaks two different languages because they were settled by the English and the French.
English is spoken in Canada from coast to coast. In the province of Quebec there is not as much of it.
Back when Canada was first being formed into a country, it was the English who eventually beat the French. However, rather than deporting or simply slaughtering the French population, they were allowed to remain as citizens of the new country. The area that they had settled in eventually became the province of Quebec. Quebec is a full member of Canada. Canada has two official languages, English and French; all products sold in Canada require both English and French labelling, and all government forms are required to be available in both official languages. Outside Quebec, however, it's usually the English labels/forms that are displayed; within Quebec, it's the French ones. Both languages are taught to school children. So in short, the English won, but the French Canadians, the Quebecois, still have a valued presence within the country.

Various indigenous First Nations settled in Canada thousands of years ago, well before the arrival of any Europeans. The first known Europeans to settle in Canada were Vikings, who built at least one settlement in Newfoundland around the year 1000. The next Europeans to settle in Canada were the French, in 1541.

Quebec is different from the rest of canada, because Quebec has more of an expansion of french speaking people while everywhere else has a mixture, mainly because french people first migrated in Quebec
