    Thank you for the welcome back guys. It sure seems I have missed out on quite a lot. I can't believe there were so many multiple aliases. Nice to see some familiar ones though.
    There have been a lot of changes in the last few months and I will be e-mailing everyone once I get rid of a virus I have. That my computer has I should say. I am quite healthy at the moment for a change!!! LOL!!!

    As for the question, you first have to realize there is a difference between a Canadian who speaks French and a French Canadian. People from both groups would be the first to point out that Parisian French and French Canadian French are almost two separate languages.
    Also, if you look at the numbers for each province on a per capita basis, New Brunswick comes in second with 32.8 percent as of 2001. Don't forget about Acadian history. Ontario is third with 4.5 percent and Manitoba fourth with 4.1 percent.

    Since Ontario's population is far greater than other provinces, they do have the second largest number of French Canadians, but percentage wise it is lower than New Brunswick. This link breaks down the numbers even further.
