The term Anglo-America is also occasionally used (though in this instance it doesn't include the English-speaking nations of the Caribbean).


How about the French speaking Canadians?


Oui, qu'en est-il de nous? I mean, nous somme fiers de ne notre francais! I spent years on it! YEARS!


Direct from wikipedia (though I know that wiki is not always a reliable source, it just seems that they'll put it better than I will). Bold is my own.

Anglo-America includes the United States (Hawaii excluded) and Canada in North America, and the term is frequently used in reference to the two countries together. Despite having a French-speaking majority, Quebec is often considered part of Anglo-America due to cultural, economic, geographical, historical, and political considerations. Other areas composing the Anglophone Caribbean include territories of the British West Indies, Belize, Bermuda, and Guyana.


So yes, while Quebec (and northern Ontario and western New Brunswick) are primarily francophone, by convention it is usually included in Anglo-America. And it seems I was incorrect in my exclusion of Anglophone Caribbean from the term.

On a side note Jack, if you spent years on your French, I'd hope you'd speak it better than that. :P :lol:


After my final grade 12 French exam I kinda lost pretty much all of my French...
It was very sad.
