This week we’re going up the Canadian coastline to tell the story of The Expulsion of the Acadians. French immigrants to the Americas just wanted to live their lives, be friends with the natives, and stay with their families (that’s oversimplifying it, but you get it). Of course, religion and the government decided to ruin the party for everyone, and A LOT of people died. 

Join us for this week’s historical tragedy, it’s quite sad.
