As everyone else said, French is definitely more useful if you plan on staying in Canada for a while. You can use it and get more practice.
But if you would rather take a super awesome subject than one that's useful, I would recommend Spanish. I take Spanish and it's like my favorite subject. I don't know any French, but from what I've heard about it, it seems like Spanish is a little easier. And if you're bad at French, it might be refreshing to start new at something else.
Do you have any older siblings or friends? If you're still unsure what to take, ask someone who has taken either French or Spanish about the class. Ask if the teacher is good, if the class is fun, and if it's hard.
Hope this helps, and good luck.
Adios!

When I went to Canada my French speaking skills were very useful. I only spent a month there but the majority of the time I had to speak French to communicate with others. When I went to malls and stuff I was suprised to see that the majority of the store clerks and workers spoke much more French than they did English. Those who did speak English had a very heavy French accent.
So I recommend French.

in canada, definitely want to take french if you want something usefull, but everyone ive talked to says spanish is easier to learn. so if you just want the grade go for spanish.

It depends on where you plan on living really. If you don't plan to move out of Canada, I would recomend french. If you plan on moving south of Kansas spanish is the way to go.

Stick with Spanish, its a much more common and useful language to know, especially when you're getting hired for a job later on when you want a career. Besides it really isnt that hard...it's a lot like english.

I think you should stick to taking French. You're from Canada (Yay!) so you're going to need it when you go out into the real world. If you decided to move some place, a lot of times you need to know enough French to get by if you're looking for a job. Other times they wont hire you if you just speak English, you need to know French, too. So that would probably be the best thing for you to take, French. And actually, French isn't all the bad, once you get the hang of it. Just practice and you'll do great. ♥

Well since you live in Canada it would probably be more useful as you said, but if you ever planned on moving to the US then spanish would be more useful because many people here speak spanish fluently. Personally I think french is a prettier language to learn so I choose french but its up to you.

I had a similar problem when I was in high school. I ultimately chose to take Spanish since our area had a lot of Spanish-speaking immigrants. I was able to practice with them and ended up picking up a lot just listening to them.
Since French is spoken in Canada, you'll probably have more chances to practice French, not only later in life, but also while you're taking the class. Being able to practice more could make it easier and lead to a higher grade. However, if you find Spanish more comfortable, you may find it easier.
