Open minded people who love the fact that Acadians are part of our culture...that's who cares!!!

Have a great Fête Nationale de l’Acadie my Acadian friends :)

who cares...??? A lot of people care...and you should too.
It's our national holiday, I think we deserve to have at least a small recognition. I didn't know there still existed such closed-minded people in a bilingual province. Next time, keep those comments to yourself.

C Doucet...All the bigots crawled out from under their rocks during the whole EFI debate...it's amazing to me as well that in 2008 there are still people stuck in 1950!

Ignore them...they are ignorant and an embarrassment to NB!

Now if we had a day to celebrate our english language, all the acadians would be offended by our prejudiced holiday and DEMAND that it be celebrated in french!!!

There are still Acadians in New Brunswick?

Gee someone told me the English drove them out years ago and sent them packing to the Southern states?

Was that a lie?

Hey don't lay the bigot deal on me!! Just stating a fact (OR WAS THAT FICTION) you know seeing as they ARE STILL AROUND!

Someone stated a very fair question here! When do the English New Brunswickers get to celebrate their N.B. culture AND how much money does the N.B. or Federal Government give THEM for a celebration?

VERY FAIR QUESTION!!!!
