I don't know of specific ethnic data, but if you look at where the population is strongest, those places swung towards Trump heavily. Multiple reasons:
1. Tends to be a working-class White community, which could mean falling into national trends, especially as they've become less ethnically distinctive. Similar to other "White ethnic" groups in this way.
2. Also, it's a Catholic voting bloc with socially conservative tendencies. There were more than a few Clinton-anti marijuana-pro minimum wage increase towns in Arostook County and in other French Canadian areas. Democrats seem to be losing this kind of voter.
3. The effect is probably more prominent in rural French Canadian communities, where notions of rural consciousness and community decline play into realignment too.
