The statement that is not true is: "France was interested in driving the Spanish from Canada."

While France was indeed involved in exploration and colonization in North America, their primary goals included trade, particularly in furs, and establishing colonies, rather than specifically focusing on driving the Spanish from Canada, as Spain's presence in that region was limited compared to their influence in other parts of the Americas.
