THE ACADIAN PEOPLE IN 2025...
By Bernard Bujold-
The Acadian people of 1755 can be compared to the people of Ukraine in 2025...
While for Ukrainians, Russia's territorial desire is the cause of their war, England's desire to possess the territory of Nova Scotia is the cause of the deportation of the Acadians!
The Acadians did not want to take sides with either France or England and sought to maintain neutrality on their farms. But without an armed militia and a plan to defend their territory, they were completely defenseless against the British army's desires and deportation.
As Taylor Swift sings, “When you try to be everyone's friend, you end up being no one's friend...”
Happy Acadia National Day, 2025 edition; and good luck to my friend Donald in Alaska...
