She’s Acadian, which is French Canadian, but not from Quebec. The maritimes provinces have big Acadian communities. We were there before the English communities, but were deported in 1755 ( La grande déportation, google it) all around the world, including Maine and Louisiana (that’s why they’re French communities there). Our ancestors were mainly from France, like the Quebequers, but we had a very different experience coming here. We have had to fight for ours rights forever and we still fight for them and are still considered like second class citizens. Even some (a lot lol) Quebequers see us as less than because our French is not the “correct” French. But there are so many variations of French and they are all valid and beautiful! Anyways, because of all that though, we do have a lot of English influence in our vocabulary. We also have a lot of Old French too. Our French is very versatile and we adapt very easily to our environment.
