Canada is British Colony or Part of the French Empire...???

Both. From Wikipedia: "Beginning in the late 15th century, British and French colonial expeditions explored, and later settled, the region's Atlantic coast. France ceded nearly all of its colonies in North America to Britain in 1763 after the Seven Years' War. In 1867, with the union of three British North American colonies through Confederation, Canada was formed as a federal dominion of four provinces." Basically the French gave up their parts to Britain. There are still some places that are considered "French-Canadian", most notably Quebec, and the entire country is officially bilingual. Incidentally, the accent is very odd when compared to French (in France). Most French people chuckle whenever Celine Dion speaks French, for example, because the words sound really weird. As a Brit who speaks both languages and spent years living in Paris, I have to agree: it's a really strange accent. I guess they'd say the same about French spoken in France. Interestingly, the country only really gained full sovereignty in the 1980s - that really surprised me!

Part of Canada speaks French from the past. Most of the areas speak English though, and is now a British colony. There are different accents all over the country, but that is true of almost every country. Here in the US, every area seems to have it's own accent, and you can tell where a person comes from by how they speak.

Canada is a country not a colony. It was discovered and claimed by the British and France. We gained our independence in 1867. Canada is english and french because it was colonized originally by those two countries. The Queen is the Queen of British Empire and Canada is one of the countries that still honors the Queen but Britain does not rule us.

Canada is an independent country and I went there for a visit in 2010. It know it has mostly English speaking places and some French speaking places. Canada has an interesting history with some English and French people in its background. It believes Queen Elizabeth is important.

Canada is an independent country. Just like with most of the other countries in North America, it has been a country that is quite a melting pot. That said, there have been a lot of people that have settled in Canada that are of French lineage and because of that there are a lot of people in Canada that speak French. However, I don't think that the country is either an English Colony or a part of the French empire.

Canada is a self-governing country but has been a French colony first then a British colony after. I guess the Brits defeated the French somewhere in history and they retain the country afterwards. Canada is still tied to the British because their head of state is the Queen of the UK (called Queen of Canada). They are also part of the Commonwealth of Nations – a group of countries that consists of former British colonies (with now function government) and British territories. There is a part of Canada called Quebec who retained their French roots even though the land was governed by the British. I could hazard a guess that many people spoke French and English there due to their history.
