What is another term for Anglophones in Canada?

1. French Canadians

2. English Canadians

3. Bilingual Canadians

4. Canadian English Speakers

The correct answer is: English Canadians

The correct term for Anglophones in Canada is "English Canadians." Anglophones are individuals whose first language is English, and in the context of Canada, where both English and French are official languages, "English Canadians" specifically identifies this group within the diverse Canadian population. Other terms, like "French Canadians," refer specifically to those for whom French is the first language, so it does not apply to Anglophones. "Bilingual Canadians" describes individuals who speak both English and French fluently, which may not necessarily encompass all Anglophones, as some may not speak French at all. Similarly, "Canadian English Speakers" while descriptive, is less commonly used as a term in identifying that demographic compared to "English Canadians." Thus, "English Canadians" is the most accurate descriptor for Anglophones in Canada.
