MUSÉE DE LA NOUVELLE-FRANCE -

As a French Canadian living in Montréal, I am surprised at the
ineptitude of the USA autorities in solving the plight of the thousands
of people stranded in New Orleans, many of them on roof tops. As the
authorities take notice of the problem, and people die, these
autorities think of is the number of police necessary to control
looting. And what about people dying on roof tops? Well for the
autorities, this is a secundary problem.
As this happens, it is reminds one of the historic events that occured
in what was once French Canada. Before what the Americans and
Englo-Canadians call the "French and Indian War", but what French
Canada described as the Conquest of Canada, the whole of this region,
from the the Saint-Lawrence valley to the Golf of Mexico was Canada,
French Canada. This why the Library of Congress, Wash DC at his web
site preserve the many French plans drawn up at that time, See MAP
COLLECTION: 1500-2004 at

area that Canada then covered, have a look at MUSÉE DE LA
NOUVELLE-FRANCE -

Some one the web asked why was New Orleans built below sea level? I
really don't know. Has someone the answer? In the mean time, it
matters that autorities get down on earth and save the thousands of
people calling for help in New Orleans, formerly Nouvelle-Orléans.
