In 1970, which international association of French-speaking countries did Canada help found?

  1. The European Union

  2. ASEAN

  3. La Francophonie

  4. The Commonwealth

The correct answer is: La Francophonie

La Francophonie is the correct answer because it is the only option that is an international association specifically focused on French-speaking countries. The European Union is a political and economic union of European countries, ASEAN is an association of Southeast Asian countries, and the Commonwealth is an intergovernmental organization of over 50 countries, most of which were former British colonies. Canada's involvement in founding La Francophonie makes sense as Canada is a bilingual country, with French being one of its official languages, and has a significant French-speaking population.
