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]

post-colonial population structure of North America". Nature
Communications. 8. doi:10.1038/ncomms14238. ISSN 2041-1723.

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.
