Disambiguate or redirect. I agree with Cuchullain that this shouldn't be a red link, but have no opinion at the moment about the appropriate target(s). That should really be a matter for talk page discussion rather than AfD.

There's a separate standalone article about almost every individual province's or territory's francophone community (except the Maritimes, where they're all subsumed into
Acadian rather than having separate provincial identity communities, and Nunavut).

French Canada could possibly refer collectively to all the regions of Canada where francophones reside (although I don't recall it ever being used that way), but definitely not individual areas like Acadia.

I agree that this isn't useful as a standalone article, as there's nothing it can really cover that isn't already covered in
French Canadian and its various spinoff pages — but it is too common a phrase to simply be left redlinked, and indeed needs to get the reader somewhere relevant. Even though potential items do exist besides Quebec to make it a dab page (e.g.
Franco-Ontarian,
Acadians,
Franco-Manitoban,
French language in Canada, etc.), all of those are also linked in
French Canadians already. The best solution, accordingly, is indeed a redirect to
French Canadians — the only other alternative, really, would be to turn it into a full-on outline index of all remotely related pages, and that's probably excessive.
