I am a Cajun from Louisiana state and I actually like most Canadians.
I don't know why some of you guys up there seemingly hate us so much. I've had Canadian friends and
acquaintances that came and go, and they were almost like brothers to me.
Quebec also has some of the best Sportsman (i.e. hunters and fishers) I've ever competed against. Some of you people up there are actually distant cousins/relatives of mine too; if you know your surnames correct and recall your history. (i.e. Aucoin, Melancon, Nadeau, Pitre, Trahan - I descend from some of these people who were Acadian colonists. Surely some Canadians have heard these surnames; or may actually bear them, too.)
Also, as a Cajun I'm actually pretty educated and not your stereotypical "redneck-savage" type. I am bilingual (almost trilingual with Spanish) and speak English and French. etc. So please don't stereotype us as being "low IQ people". (as one Canadian once said to me) We Cajuns are actually a lot smarter than most people think.
I invite some Canadian Sportsman to come on down to Louisiana if you want to do some
pretty cool outdoorsman stuff; In the Meantime. Especially some real good summertime Sports like bass-fishing and deer hunting. I'm also pretty into Hockey and the city I live in, Lafayette; actually does have an ice hockey and skating rink!
Believe it or not! (Which is rare in Louisiana state.)
Canada is a country with a lot of good people and beautiful nature. I wish Canadians were not so blinded to the America vs. Canada bias, and vice versa. It would make it easier and better for both of us to get along.
We Cajuns (and most Americans) aren't slagging you Canucks off. (Usually, it is the richer/snooty
Republican Americans that do this. But they aren't real
Republicans and are actually what you would call "Neo-cons".) etc.
Let it be known, most of us are not holding any grudges against you guys for things in the past at all, either. (i.e. Acadian genocide/deportation.)
