A French Habitat Farmer, Quebec, 1774-          

            What are these British people thinking? First they come and practically take over our land, and now they are ‘keeping us happy’ because they might ‘need’ us as allies! Oh, all right allow me to backpedal…as the British say…

            I was delivering some farm fresh vegetables, as I do every week, to a large British settlement. They have been paying me for these vegetables I bring with rare objects-like fruits- and sometimes, extra fabrics, for the wife to make clothes.  Anyways, I arrived at the settlement and went into the ‘Grand’ area, where I waited for someone to come get my vegetables. After waiting for a long time, I decided to go explore. This is when I came across the scheming Brits, hard at work. 
            The governor man, Carleton, was talking to another man. He seemed to be making recommendations.

            “The French will be our only allies if the 13 Colonies attack! The colonies are unrested! Keep the French happy as clams and give them some more rights! They will be allowed to keep talking in that strange lingo that none of our recruiters understand, keep being Catholic, and, I’m breaking boundaries here, but let them have the civil laws!”

            Now because I am expertly bilingual, Je suis experte bilingue, I understood everything that governor said, right down to strange lingo and well, I did not get the thirteen nations, (Is it some kind of pudding?) or the civil laws part…. But all in all it is pretty clear. The Brit’s are bad!
