Canada was called New France because it was ' as good and as temper ate as France and on the same latitude '. Hence the title of today's talk ' Canada or New France ? ' It was Jacques Cartier , a Breton sailor, who explored it in the sixteenth century. And today schools are to hear about the early pathfinders and the rival English and French traders.
