Certainly the central part of Quebec City has many streets and parks with British names (Holland, Haldimand, Gilmour, Maguire, Dorchester, Moncton, etc.) for a city as francophone as it is.

Of course, it wasn't always so, and of course there was the power relationship that entered into it too.

I'm trying to think of any French street names here in Kitchener and I'm coming up empty. The closest would be St-Leger (pronounced "ledger" and English) and Pequegnat (Swiss, I believe). For some reason, German names are much more common ....
