Del,
No.
Canadien is French for Canadian, and a masculin and
singular noun when it takes a capital C.
So, for a noun in English, you would say
Canadian, and in French you would say Canadien for a man and Canadienne for
a woman and add an s to either one to signify the plural like you would in
English.
For an adjective, you would say for Canadian Man
and Canadian Woman (canadian in this case being the adjective) homme canadien
and femme canadienne. You would add an additional ne to mark
the feminine form, which does not exist in the syntaxic form of the English
language but exists in Spanish also by changing o for a, like loco and loca.
To answer your question simply then, a in Canadian
is in English and e in Canadien is in French.
And Del, you don't have to feel jealous, there are
many cases where we pay more than Americans for the same, besides
McFayden Seed Co. Ltd
30, 9th St
Brandon, Manitoba

Phone 1 800 205-7111
List Evans Cherry for 12,95 $ Cdn for one tree,
which is self-fertile.
That means roughly $ 8.50 US. So you see,
there is no reason to despair. Just put in an order for the Fall. Great time to
plant anyway.
It may get complicated with the Custom people, but
that is another question all together and there is no reason to be jealous about
that either, as we have to deal with Custom when purchasing live plants in the
States too.
Start with their free catalogue at the above
number.
