I seem to remember Hull (near Ottawa) had a large Francophone population. Heard alot of Mandarin when I used to go to Vancouver on the weekends, but little French.

I seem to remember that decades after the expulsion, many Acadians returned to the maritimes.

Many Acadians never left the Maritimes, as they chose to take the oath to the Britain. Hardly surprising, because Bourbon France was a hellhole that almost makes the Middle East seem civilized.
