What was the ratio of French to English speakers in Upper Canada before and after the American Revolution?
score:2
Accepted answer
Turns out, this question is mostly based on a false premise. Before the American Revolution, the area of Upper Canada was essentially uninhabited by Europeans [1, 2].
According to Library and Archives Canada, the population in the area was approximately 10,000 by 1791, the majority of whom were Loyalists. For comparison, "the population of Lower Canada was 160,000, of which 20,000 were English-speaking".
