Monique, I had heard that "Mémé" and "Pépé" were not used for grandmothers and grandfathers in France. I've often wondered why French-Canadians and people of French-Canadian descent in the US use these words when people in France do not. I also wonder about what words French-speaking people in other parts of the world use for their grandparents.

Getting back to "Canuck," whether it means all Canadians, French-Canadians, are English-Canadians, I am one. Three of my grandparents were French-Canadians, but my paternal grandfather was English-Canadian.
