Jeanne Bouvier de la Motte Guyon would have known about Canada tru her relationship with Fenelon, since his brother was in Canada, as is related by Marguerite Bourgeoys (April 17 1620 - January 12 1700) when she mentions him in connection with her 1670-72 trip to France when she writes: "They told me I needed to go to France for Patent Letters  (from the King of France, for her new congregation) and to bring back a few girls (which were to be married and needed a chaperon until they would find husbands).  I received several certificates, both from the Quebec and Montreal  Seminaries, went to Quebec, where I felt ill and spent a few days at the hospital (Jeanne Mance and her were friends). When they told me it was time to sail I asked Monsieur de Fenelon  to give permission to his servant to take a box of my things aboard the ship, which he promises. I went to the benediction of the Saint Sacrement and to get blessed by  the Archbishop. When I return the servant assures me all has been done and is on board. It is getting dark and I look for my things but cannot find them. Night comes. In the morning I still cannot find anything. Monsieur de Fenelon wants to give me a coin of forty sols to go back to Quebec for my things, but we are near sailing time, so instead I write to M. Dupuy, major of Montreal, who happens to be in Quebec city, requesting him, if he finds my things, to send me my papers to France and to return my box to Montreal"

Jeanne's writings were undermining both the Catholic Church's and the King's influence.  Louis XIV did not have an other choice than to have her confined in a Convent when Rome interfered in the matters.

Eventually,  Madame de Maintenon had her released.
