Essentially, there were some French Acadians trading with the First Nations (1650), and then there was a fire and they went away (1669), and then the French French came to protect their land from the English (1713), and then the English won but gave Cape Breton back to the French (1745), but then the English were like JK WANT IT and attacked (1758) - and then during the French Revolution they built a fort (1793). And then they built a canal to connect the Bras D'Or Lake to the Atlantic Ocean (1869). So mostly, I just tell tourists that while wearing classy forrest green pants and a red polar fleece sweater and a nametag! Ideal job, considering I chat chat chat all the time.
Oh dear, turing into you for long-windednes.. ONESEC:
