English Canada, in general, refers to the population within Canada, whether of British origin or otherwise, that speaks English.[1]

The term English Canada can also be used for one of the following:

  1. Describing all the provinces and territories of Canada that have an anglophone majority. This is every province except Quebec. When used in this way, English Canada is often referred to as the "ROC" (Rest of Canada). This type of usage excludes French-speaking areas in English-majority provinces like the East and North of New Brunswick, Northern and Eastern Ontario, Saint-Boniface and the few small pockets of French localities in Western Canada.
  2. When discussing the culture, values and lifestyles of English-speaking Canadians as opposed to those of French-speaking Canadians. This usage is most often employed to compare English- and French-language literature, media, art and institutions. The population whose native language is neither English nor French are either lumped into one of the two official languages according to their knowledge and usage of them, or are classified separately as allophones.[2]
  3. When discussing the Two Solitudes, in which English Canada (i.e. the anglophones of Canada) is one of two founding nations of Canada along with French Canada (i.e. the francophones of Canada).[3] The term was often used during the conscription crisis.[4]
  4. English Canadians, in some historical contexts, refers to Canadians who have origins in England, in contrast to Canadiens (i.e., French Canadians or Canadiens français), Scottish Canadians, Irish Canadians etc.
