Happy Acadian Day Brandon, Manitoba?

Acadian Day a National Holiday? I guess I can see a group wanting to advocate whatever their group is for but do they think this stuff through? Good grief there would be holidays for every group imaginable in this country.

I’m trying to imagine the Société Nationale de l'Acadie celebrating Loyalist Day and thinking that was a good idea for a National Holiday.

Please take the anti-French rants elsewhere. That’s not what this is about. I know plenty of Acadians who frown at the militant approach a few of the groups supposedly representing them takes and say it does nothing to help English-French relations except foster an us vs. them approach.

So let me add sincerely to Acadians, “Bonne Fête aujourd’hui”.
