I'm still surprised that people are amazed at the amount of French names for regions and towns on the Prairies. Do history courses in Quebec touch on the subject of New France and its exploration of the interior of North America? Or is it like the rest of Canada and kind of glossed over?
Dunrea, a small farming community close to where I grew up is/was predominately French-Canadian. It seems there was a small flood of settlers from Quebec that dried up quite quickly. Was that a result of the Manitoba Schools Question? (Thank you Orangemen...not!)
