I'm nostalgic for England more and more these days...
Visiting Annapolis Royal Nova Scotia there are still remnants of the "Britishness" of Canada's older settlements but for the most part the social justice lunatics are working feverishly to erase those .. and its sad and fills me with sorrow to be honest.. to know that such a great nation has been brought to its knees and demoralized by people who are not fit to clean the shoes of those who came before them... not fit to be given the high paid jobs and important role of elected officials in our nation because they don't seem to think any of it is worth preserving..

The early settlement history of Tantramar is a fascinating tapestry of human struggle dating back more than 300 years for people of European descent and more that 3000 years for aboriginal peoples. Prince Henry Sinclair, from the Orkney Islands off northern Scotland, may have been the first European to visit the area. Scanty evidence suggests that Prince Henry traveled through Chignecto in the summer of 1398 following traditional travelways connecting the Northumberland Strait and the Bay of Fundy. Trading between native communities at Chignecto and the french settlement at Port Royal was initiated by Father Baird in 1612, but it was not until 1672 that french farmers first established a permanent settlement at the village of Beaubassin - now Fort Lawrence. By the mid 1700's the french Acadian population of Chignecto had grown to 3000-4000. British forces captured Fort Beausejour in June of 1755 and shortly thereafter most Acadian residents were expelled from the area. Continuing harassment of British military installations continued by French guerillas and their Micmac allies until the fall of Quebec in 1759 which ended all hopes that Acadians may have been able to repossess their lands. The end of guerilla warfare thus lead to a greater sense of security for potential settlers." https://heritage.tantramar.com/y2trib-article.html |
