Some might. Depends on where they are. Some areas are going to be more mixed due to the surrounding settlements.
My ancestry, for example, is mostly Acadian French (my paternal side hasn't moved since the original settlement era) & Gaspé Bay French and includes a little actual Continental French within the last 300 years [tree goes back further]. I have one 3rd great-grandfather from Omagh Ireland & some Italian ancestry. But I always favor French with a teeny hint of other genetically.
On the reverse I know others whose ancestry is littered with Scottish, German & other migrants but they still call themselves "French Canadian" because a) they speak French & b) they were born in Quebec or a French area and most of their traceable and/or knowledged ancestry is French.
