Hmm ... this is can.general; no language is implied in the group name, and
we are after all an officially bilingual country.  I personally support
the idea of posting articles to this group in whatever language the poster
wishes to use.  It seems to me that can.francais is more likely for issues
relating to french-speaking Canadians, rather than for articles on any
Canadian topic which just happen to be written in French.

C'est seulement mon opinion, sans doute.
