As the attached newspaper article is in French, I hesitated before posting in this sub-forum. I had made a couple of unsuccessful attempts at attaching the link to the government's "Statistic Canada" website where the source analysis should be located. Unfortunately, following lengthy delays, the website "timed out" with every attempt. So then, here is the link to the article in La Presse, a major French-language newspaper in Québec.

Recensement 2016: le Canada plus bilingue, le Québec plus Anglophone
http://www.lapresse.ca/actualites/national/201708/02/01-5121342-recensement-2016-le-canada-plus-bilingue-le-quebec-plus-anglophone.php
While the linguistic portrait has been dressed from the Québécois perspective, the general outlines the total "native" English and French populations are presented. The only "issue" that I have with the presentation of the Census analysis is that the author of the article has chosen to describe an increase of 0,6% as having been a "bondi" and a decrease of 1,1% as having "chuté" ... "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics." (attributed to British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli)

Re: Canada: Linguistic Portrait in 2016
The Geosearch is pretty useful to quickly locate information on a particular division of the census:

Most of the language "products" are not there though. For these I just get a notice instead about the programming error mentioned in your second post...
