My friend and fellow blogger Kathyrn Lake Hogan of Looking4Ancestors posted this nice summary of Canadian Confederation on her Facebook page this morning: On 1 July 1867, the provinces of Canada
(Canada East & Canada West), New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia joined
together under the term of Confederation to form the Dominion of Canada.

ReplyDeleteI like this! Even for people who half-believe in stereotypes, the Canadian stereotype seems full of good qualities. Self-effacing, optimistic, affable.
ReplyDelete4333My mother was born in Canada to Canadian parents and my father was born to a Canadian mother and English father. When I go to NB I always feel like I am going home. I still have family there today and their offspring!!
