Hi, Ellen,
This post wasn't translated, because spelling variants don’t exist in French. However, the following posts may be of interest to you:
1. A French post entitled “3 raisons d’adopter l’orthographe rectifiée,” which argues for simplified spelling in French (see https://www.noslangues-ourlanguages.gc.ca/fr/blogue-blog/orthographe-rec...).
2. “The French spoken in New France,” which provides a historical look at Canadian French (see https://www.noslangues-ourlanguages.gc.ca/en/blogue-blog/francais-nouvel...).
Enjoy!
