Welcome to TRF! Why the Irish over the French?

There are a lot of Irish-Franco Canadians in Quebec is that your background Seb-Ass? Good to see a Canadian member of TRF from your province.

Some Newfies still have a very distinctive south Wexford accent so I believe...to put that into perspective its an area with about 20 km radius

The Newfoundland accent is so different from the rest of Canada!! The province only joined Canada in 1949 however and even that took two rounds of referendum voting.

Here is the former premier of Newfoundland and Labrador arguing with Paul McCartney and Heather Mills on Larry King for those of you who have never heard the accent

Thanks everybody ! For my background i'm not 100% sure, I was stuck somewhere in my genealogy because there's a lot of irish ancestor who were orphelin due to the pandemia when they all came here in Quebec, but my grand-mother said to me mine was straight from Ireland so I guest it's true ... By the way Quebec was really really influence by the irish nation (our music and everything). Our background was almost the same (war against our country) etc, etc !

PS : Don't worry little guy i'm not one of that close-minded quebecer who hate canadian people hahaha

Welcome, hope you enjoy the forum

... the only parts of Canada that can understand my accent seem to be Banff and Jasper
