The Northern Irish and the Scots get a holiday on their patron saints day but us and the Welsh don’t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manu266 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I have a created a monster, that was my last Happy St-Patrick's Day on a forum for sure. Happy Sant Jordi to all Catalans, specially the political prisoners. And happy St-George's day for all Canadians who are proud of their English roots and to all our (real) English friends of course.

deluded pom? Posted June 25, 2018 Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 Acadians? French New Englanders (an oxymoron if ever there was one)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manu266 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Acadia (roughly today nova Scotia, new Brunswick and northern Maine) and new France (Quebec) were considered 2 different French colonies, so they have their different traditions and cultures. They were also lost to the English in 2 different wars, therefore Acadians received a much more violent treatment from the English. French new Englanders are mostly Acadians and Quebecois who moved south in the 19 and early 20 century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
