English Canada is a term used to describe one of the following:

  1. English Canadians, a term usually meaning English-speaking or anglophone Canadians, the official language majority in the country except New-Brunswick and Quebec as well. This usage is employed when comparing English- and French-language literature, media, or art.
  2. The Canadian provinces which are majority anglophone. Today, this includes all of them other than Quebec. This usage is usually employed in the context of geopolitical discussions involving Quebec. Among supporters of the two-nations theory, English-Canada is one of those two nations, the other being French Canada or Quebec.
