加拿大法语 (Canadian French / jiannada fayu) is an umbrella term referring to the varieties of French spoken in Canada.
Why it is blocked: It’s caught because of a word it unintentionally contains: 大法 (dafa), short for Falun Dafa, aka Falun Gong. Similarly, a nickname for China’s most prestigious law school, 人大法学院 (Renmin University of China Law School / rendafaxueyuan) is also banned. See Scunthorpe problem.
