    Look the same to me and French and Brits do as well.

    That's possible.

    Acadians in particular have a considerable amount of Amerindian ancestry.

    I don't really have stereotypical Amerindian features. But I do notice my skin tone is relatively common in French Canadians, but nearly non-existent in true Anglo Canadians.

    Well, French Canadians are supposed to look like French people, and Anglo-Canadians like Brits.

    But it's not that simple.
    Actually —in Montreal's bilingual neighbourhoods or Eastern Ontario— both populations look strangely similar to each other, more so than average Brits and French in Europe.
    Maybe both groups had their share of unfaithful spouses, I don't know.
    More seriously, I think that considerable Irish/Scottish admixture contributed to make them somewhat closer to each other. They all are just standard mainstream North American Whites.
    Mediterranean types should be logically a little more widespread among the French speakers, but the Anglo community (in Québec) has absorbed lots of Italian and Greek immigrants who wanted their children to be educated in the English language.
    BTW, each time you meet in Montréal someone who looks unmistakeably Jewish, you can bet with 100 percent safety that he/she/it cannot nor doesn't want to hear or speak a single word of French.
    Generally speaking, French speaking Canadians show in their facial traits more "compactness" than the Anglos.
    Due to the higher Alpine component in the French ethnicity.

    Oh, and I was about to forget: French Canadian girls are absolutely different, they smile in a way that puts them apart!

    I've been classified as alpine several times. I think I also have the French Canadian smile.

    That Québec smile is really peculiar.
    It makes girls impossibly charming and attractive.
    It also make boys look like retarded rednecks (no offence intended to anyone).

    Worst company I ever flied. A disgrace. Staff bilingually rude, abusive in both languages. Never again.
    A blemish on the Canadian flag and repute.

    They totally fucked up when they booked my hotel. I arrived in Montreal at 10:00 am, but I couldn't check in until 4:00 pm. Luckily the hotel was nice enough to let me check in at 2:00.

    Do Ukrainian Canadians look like Ukrainian people? Or is it also not that simple?:
