	Minority Francophone Youths in Canada:
		Indeed, what is significant about organizers’ articulation of francophone discourses at the AFG is that while they produced contested definitions of francophoneness that shifted between linguistic and cultural truths, the predominance of their own francophone identities was never in doubt or at risk.
		Nonetheless, Ontario francophones are not dispersed evenly: there are longstanding and well established concentrations of francophones, the most important of which are in the north and east of the province.
		The fact that at fifteen years old, this young francophone was already consciously articulating the desire to transmit her language to her future children points to the problematic character of her francophoneness.
