So...you form an opinion on 'British Canadians' based on one guy from Toronto?
I don't hate the French and I have plenty of British blood flowing through my veins.

You are the one who was saying the British kicked out the Acadians.
They did not send them to Louisiana. The Spanish did. Evidently they
didn't think much of the French either.

Oh boy...I always thought you were one of the few logical factual posters in here. The British certainly did disperse the Acadians...including a good portion to Swampland USA.

From Wikipedia
After being expelled to France, many Acadians were eventually
recruited by the Spanish government to migrate to present day
Louisiana state (known then as Spanish colonial Luisiana), where they
developed what became known as Cajun culture.[8]

Another reference
According to Cajun Country, after Spain gained control of Louisiana in
the mid-1760s, Acadian exiles "who had been repatriated to France
volunteered to the king of Spain to help settle his newly acquired
colony." The Spanish government accepted their offer and paid for the
transport of 1,600 settlers. When they arrived in Louisiana in 1785,
colonial forts continued Spain's services to Acadian pioneers (which
officially began with a proclamation by Governor Galvez in February of
1778). Forts employed and otherwise sponsored the settlers in starting
their new lives by providing tools, seed corn, livestock, guns,
medical services, and a church.

You're doing the same thing with Donna that you do with Harry - presenting facts. You'll most likely
get the same response you get from Harry - bull****.

It is actually a pretty interesting read. There are about a dozen
articles you get on the top 2 pages of a google search. A few are
fluff but some were pretty interesting about the forced migration of
the Acadians from Canada (the polite term for being herded onto slave
ships and hauled away) and what happened to them.
I always knew they mostly came from Canada because they were on the
wrong side if the French and Indian war but I did not realize how
forcefully they were moved.
