Why do they speak French? • Only parts of Canada are French speaking, mainly Quebec, Montreal & North Ontario. As the French invaded Canada in the 15th century, and colonised a small island called Sable Island. The French were led by a man called Pierre Du Guast who then led a few colonising expeditions across Canada and took over more areas, and by about 1605 he owned all of what was then called 'New France'
