Letters

Dear You,
Hey! I've been here for quite a bit now so I miss writing articles and letters so that's the format of these I guess! Sorry my last post/letter was so short. I had not updated for a little while now too ...

After the French had lost the war, Britain had started to rule over Quebec. I am fluent in French (not bragging or anything) so I spoke with some of the people. Right now I am staying with the French, living their lifestyles (who knows, maybe it will make a good article in the future!) and learning their way of life. But living in the past is still kind of scary.

Everybody here is not very happy. The French people are not quite satisfied with their ways of life right now because of the loss in the war and the new British leaders (but luckily they still get to keep their civil laws and culture and PLUS they outnumber the British) . The British are no better position either. Right now, their country is broke and they are faced with the problem of them having to take charge of thousands of unwelcoming Canadiens.

But they are not the only unhappy people. It also seems that the First Nations people are very ... annoyed? I had visited Ohio Valley earlier and spoke with some First Nations people. A lot of them feel that the British are treating them disrespectfully (which I totally agree too!) and they were expected to give up THEIR OWN lands. Some settlers literally went up to them and said that they were taking over their turf! The nerve! Rumours say that they are becoming allies to the leader of the Odawa First Nation and that together they are taking over British forts.

Well. That's all the news for now. I'll update you all with more news soon.

Love,
Catherine
