I think a task force needs to put together immediately and agree on how many millions each descendant should be given.

Lafayette attorney Warren Perrin petitioned Queen Elizabeth to acknowledge the ethnic cleansing. She did so by a Royal Proclamation acknowledging the occurrence and apologized officially. This is good enough for me. I get to live in the greatest country in the world as a result. No reparation could ever match that.

Reparations should come from Britain.

They can also pay Irish descendants while they’re at it

don't think that Ville Platte has much of a connection to the Acadians who were expelled from Nova Scotia.
Right. Like some other parts of "Cajun" Louisiana, that area (ironically situated in Evangeline Parish) was primarily settled by non-Acadian French.

It’s really crazy how these Cajuns went to the most polar opposite climate available


A lot of them initially tried to settle in present day Haiti first… even worse!

I grew up in Missouri, we fought both sides in the Civil War. I should get something from both sides.

Especially, Jeanerette. A large majority of the residents couldn't be confused for Cajuns.

Why? The Canadians didn't kick them out of Nova Scotia. That was the British after they won the French and Indian War.
