Thanks for your comment. Just to be clear, the French were the first Europeans to settle in what is now Nova Scotia, in any numbers, starting in the early 1600s. Later, the British colonized the territory. The Scottish didn’t really begin immigrating until after the Jacobite rising in the mid-1700s, when conditions in Scotland became too severe under British rule. I hope this makes sense to you.

Yea but you’d think they would talk about Scotland first

Called New Scotland because the landscapes are similar with the coasts of Scotland. Highlands. To be frank, they are actually apart of the same landmass millions of years ago which is why they look similar. But yes, it's Scottish at heart.. the Scot's have been f'd and r'd for all their history. That's one that should be told, but in a more darker tone on a darker channel.

@@ChisholmCooke Scotland owned it in 1629-1632 and was named Nova Scotia in 1621 the same year that King James VI/I allowed Sir William Alexander so colonies in between New England and Newfoundland and they mad the name the Latin version of “new Scotland”

Incorrect. But you do you boo. Turns out most people now are like most people everywhere, just being people, most aint looking for the nasty, just want to eat some food, do some good work and find time to relax. Few went out of their way to pillage like that, but hey... one bad apple eh?

Yup, Nova Scotia is warmer. You perhaps seem to think the Lower Mainland and Victoria area of BC are representative of the Province; these places are not. BC covers a large area and much of it in winter is very cold. Have you ever been to Fort St John in winter! Also, being a mountainous Province, winter comes early to the high country.

How can you be distinct from other parts of Canada without them being distinct from you? I love visiting other parts of Canada because of the wonderful hospitality and experience they offer. Not in least seeing the common bounds with our compatriots. But whenever I get back to the East Coast, it is always with a feeling of returning home. Basically, I see no duality in being a Maritimer and a Canadian at the same time. Some sort of cousins by blood but siblings by spirit.

I believe Nova Scotia should be separated and form an independent country of each own.

Please review the video again. At about the 1:30 mark the narrator speaks about French colonization as well as the Expulsion of the Acadians.

It's only worth a rapid mention, too shameful event to be truely depicted, welcome to history fantasy land.

@@jandron94 The video is only about seven minutes long. Not a lot of time to comment on the span of Nova Scotia history. About a minute of the video relates to the Acadians. That is a lot of billing in such a short video. Although the Expulsion of the Acadians was tragic, it remains a small part of what Nova Scotia was and is.

@@EdinburghFive I see it as defining, you as a small part...

@@jandron94 Being an interesting episode in history, one that was tragic and elicits emotions to this day, does not make it a defining moment in the history of Nova Scotia. Clearly an import episode and one not to be ignored. To many people let emotion colour their reading and understanding of history. This just impairs their ability to understand what was going on. The Expulsions were clearly the defining episode for Acadians and their culture.

Maritime Provinces = Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island. Atlantic Canada = the same three and Newfoundland & Labrador.

Ann Murray was from spring hill !

you're being invaded by first nation... they don't own Kelly's mountain. It belongs to Nyanza.

What island?

Interesting! Was that black wood cemetery? I've heard it's in the middle of nowhere. The latest I've found was at Macpherson cemetery at Cape Breton.

Nova Scotia has many abandoned cemeteries. Keep in mind that most people in past centuries did not have stone grave markers. At best there was a wooden cross. These of course rot away .
