"en même temps" vs. "à la fois"

There seems to be a subtle difference between en même temps and à la fois when expressing "at the same time"; can you state the general rule?

Why was the capital C of Ça accented ? I was taught in French France the capital letters are not accented but are in Canadian French.

Is this a Canadian French course? I want to be confident I'm learning French as used in France.

'Ils ont été' In the example above this example seems a little misleading. Stated by itself, it seems as though it would be imparfait because it sounds to me that it could be describing a state of being in the past. Correct? In order to be passé composé wouldn't it have to describe an action with a clear ending? (after he canceled on them they were disappointed) ?

Both fortement and fort can be used as an adverb

Hi Kwiziqers! Marc a une forte personnalité. Il défend ___ ses opinions.

Why only fortement is correct? Fort can also be used an adverb.
