Yes her mother is French Canadian. I'm not exactly sure but I've read
that her mother was from Montreal or a suburb called Westmount.

lol. Although there is Celine Dion. It wouldn't be the same if Madonna wasn't
American, something cooler about being from there.

As someone who's half "real French" and not French-Canadian, Quebec is Canada's
backwater, much like Scotland is in the UK.
Madonna's mentioned her 1/4 French-Canadian heritage a number of times. But
with her mother dead and the fact that her father is Italian and it seems to me
that all Italian-Canadians are really big on a having "Viva Italy" that part of
her ancestry overshadowed the rest.

No Madonna never said that her mother was Italian. She always stated
that She was raised in a Strict Catholic Italian Family, so many Assumed
that her mother was Italian too!

after her."

In my 15+ years as a Madonna fan I have never read nor heard Madonna refer to
her mother as Italian. I have read interviews and articles in which the author
refers to her mother as being Italian. There is a huge difference between a
mistaken author and a person concealing his or her ancestry. I wouldn't say
she's ashamed at all.
The parent who raised her is Italian. I am sure she had more Italian
"influence" in her life, just because her Italian father was/is more of a
presence in her life.

And her mom's maiden name was Faustin.

Actually, isn't it Madonna FORTIN, which is a very common last name in
Québec...
And apparently, they've traced back common ancesters to Madonna and
Celine... Must be where they got that fame gene!
