Although falling under the jurisdiction of “New France,” the Acadians governed separately than the rest of the country and were a separate entity within New France. Today, “the Acadians are the
A franchise was chosen in lieu of the formation of a new brand as Yo-Good has successfully established a name in the Middle Eastern region, leading us to believe that such success could be replicated in the frozen-yogurt niche market found in Nova Scotia. We also believe that it would be the easiest means of ensuring that a healthy product is being sold to our consumers, and that the low cost of entry would provide us with reasonable revenue, allowing us to continue improving the healthy lifestyles

America but the nation of Canada as well. The American Revolution and Nova Scotia Reconsidered by George A. Rawlyk discuss the impact the American Revolution had on Nova Scotia.

Although most of the inhabitants of Nova Scotia were New Englanders, they refused to join the Thirteen Colonies in 1775
is believed to have been the first European to sight the New York Bay, but it was not explored until Henry Hudson's voyage in 1609. Verrazono also explored the North Carolina coast and he visited the Chesapeake region and then northward to Nova Scotia. In fact, he explored much of the American coast line. When Giovanni was 39, he explored more of the coast, sailing his 100-ton ship Dauphine for the French. While on this mission, he discovered a "beautiful" harbor in April and gave the name
just one of the few texts written specifically on the Mi’kmaq of Atlantic Canada, which incorporated both the colonial and Mi’kmaq “voice” side by side. The author, Ruth Holmes Whitehead is an ethnologist, historian, and research associate at the Nova Scotia Museum and has written many books on the Mi’kmaq.

varying perspectives (24,243). Yet, my impression of the text is that Wicken has managed to provide depth as well as clarity in defending his argument. This is a text I would recommend especially to history students, to those interested in Mi’kmaq and Nova Scotian history and in general to those interested in Aboriginal relations and treaties in Canada.
On October 2nd, early morning, a flight from JFK International Airport landed in Halifax, Nova Scotia. I was one of the passengers. At the altitude of 25000 feet, the view I saw was indescribable. I never saw anything like it before. The lights brightly shining upward from the ground, small green trees and the lengthy curved dark roads. It was a dark calm moonless evening. I didn’t expect the scenery to be this spectacular. I was speechless for a moment. As the plane slowly descended to a lower

The Sobeys who still maintain their head office in Stellarton Nova Scotia and the Irvings who maintain head offices in both St. John N.B. and Moncton N.B. and the Ganongs from St. Stephen could easily relocate their head offices to Toronto but choose not to. There is definitely something other than geography that keeps
