"The British Canadian brand of bigotry is hatred of the French.
I knew a guy from Toronto who used to say
"You Americans have the blacks, we have the French, Americans always
did get the first choice".
I guess back in the 18th century you had the luxury of packing them up
and shipping them out."


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.


And when are the British going to send money to their former slaves
descendants?

I wonder how many were separated from their children?
We know the mortality rate was pretty high on the slave ships the
brits used to ferry them back to France or to colonies like Georgia
where they were sold as slaves. I have done a bit of reading since
last night and the whole matter was pretty disgusting. Why do we think
Canadians are so nice?


I don't know. Why? They certainly are skinflints when they come to
Florida.

They are usually polite about it tho ;-)
