Acadian Pride!

[mo-litia]

Any other Acadians out there? My ancestors were true habitants, deported from Acadia by les anglais, sent to France and Louisiana, and eventually settling in the Canadian West during the 19th century.

. . . and you Easterners wonder where Western Alienation came from . . .  

 

[greener]

I'm one of those! Vive l'Acadie!

 

[Scott]

I AM ACADIAN!

Unlike your family, mo-litia, mine went to the sunny shores of western Cape Breton and stayed there. That's where we got the Scotch side of our family.

So whom do I send the bill for my stolen land to?  

Just kidding, but if natives deserve restitution for lost tribal land surely Acadians derserve compensation for land stolen by the British. ;D

 

[Scott]

No help there.

Get in line. I have a little Acadian blood (mixed in with the Scots and Irish, some of the northern Nova Scotia winters can be cold   ;D) on my Mother's side and My Father's family are descended   from UEL so don't talk to me about confiscated lands.   8)

;D You could always file a claim in an US court and demand that they pay you compensation for the loss of Boston or something like that!

Actually It's Philidephia.

Funny you should say that I read somewhere back that there are several UEL descendents just waiting for a a US court to jump on a Canadian who does business in Cuba under Helms-Berton as they feel it would set a precendent and open the floodgates for their cases.

Hmm 200 odd years back rent on great, great, great, great Grand dad's farm which is now in Downtown Philly would be like winning the Lottery  ;D

But I digress and we're gettin off topic.
