Old Stock Canadians is a term referring to European Canadians whose families have lived in Canada for multiple generations. It is used by some to refer exclusively to anglophone Canadians with British settler ancestors, but it usually refers to either anglophone or francophone Canadians as parallel old stock groups. Francophone Canadians descended from early French settlers in New France (prior to the British conquest of French Canada in 1763) are sometimes referred to as Québécois pure laine, often translated as "dyed in the wool", but with the same connotation as old stock.
