Who are Canada's three founding peoples?

  1. English, Scottish, and Irish

  2. Aboriginal, French and British

  3. French, British, and Dutch

  4. Norse, French, and Aboriginal

The correct answer is: Aboriginal, French and British

Two of the peoples mentioned in option A - Scottish and Irish - are part of the third, larger founding group British. Option C is incorrect because Dutch people did not play a prominent role in the formation of Canada as a nation. Option D is incorrect because Norse settlement in Canada was short-lived and did not significantly contribute to the founding of the country.
