Who are the Francophone people?
Francophone Canadians of non-French-Canadian origin such as immigrants from francophone countries are not usually designated by the term "French Canadian"; the more general term "francophones" is used for French-speaking Canadians across all ethnic origins.
The Anglophones represent the British colonies, while the Francophones represent the French colonies. New languages and administrative systems were introduced and imposed on the acquired territories. The French language was used in the French colonies, while English was used in the British colonies.
