Simon9one Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 The Naming of Canada Three explorers were hiking through a vast forest that would eventually become Canada. "You know," said the first explorer, "we should name this vast forest we're hiking through." "I know," said the second explorer. "We'll each pick a letter and then make a name out of that." "Good idea," said the third explorer. "You go first." "Okay," said the first explorer. "C, ay." "My turn," said the second explorer. "N, ay." Unfortunately, before the third explorer could choose a letter, a bear jumped out of the trees and killed and ate all three explorers. Eventually, some guy came along and named the country after his aunt. Link to post Share on other sites

Carlton Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 We in Canada have always been told that American's only learn their own countries history in school. Maybe there was some truth to that. And one thing that has to be straightened out: it's eh not ay. Good Lord, how American Link to post Share on other sites

A lot of them went to Missouri and Louisiana. the cajuns? Contrary to popular belief, Cajuns do not descend solely from Acadian exiles who settled in south Louisiana in the eighteenth century. They also descend from other ethnic groups with whom those exiles intermarried over many generations, including Spanish, German, and French Creole settlers. boy, cajun food is some good eating. nothing like some good 'ol gumbo and jambalaya with andouille sausage.
