The French influenced the Quebec with the French language and their religion as Protestant. The English language was spoken in the rest of Canada and most of them being Catholic. Most Canadians are bilingual meaning they knows two languages. Because of this difference 50% of Quebec wants to be an independent nation. Their influence has a big impact on how Canada is today.!

∙ 13y agoFrench and English are Canada's Official Languages. They are equal. Neither language takes precedence over the other, nor is either subservient to the other.
After the British captured Québec in the Seven Years War (sometimes called the French and Indian War), the people of Québec were guaranteed the right to continue using their language. That guarantee was extended by Canada's adoption of the Official Languages Act.

∙ 12y agoSalut: Though the first reply is amusing, it is just that... an amusing joke. French and Egnlish are, of course, the main languages of Canada, and their native influences are the same as with all other countries. Also, Canada, like all other countries has its own unique dialect (sound) that distinguishes it from other english/french speaking countries.
As for religions, though the french has almost a native foundation to the country, Canada's geographical closeness to the US has allowed other religions to grow and prosper.
Canadish, the language of Canada, has been heavily influenced by both English and French. Although Canadish is more closely related to Finnish and Hungarian, it has a large number of loan-words derived from English and French. This is primarily due to Canada's close proximity to the United States, its large French population, and its trade ties to the UK.
