CaledonMoneypit 🇨🇦<p>Good Morning <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Canada</span></a> <br>On this day in 1776, British forces began the evacuation of Boston to Nova Scotia during the Revolutionary War. At the time, the British empire was at risk of losing all of their North American colonies, and Canada might have joined with the revolting 13 original states. Why didn't that happen? Lots of reasons, but a high percentage of French settlers was key to keeping us loyal to Britain. Merci mon ami. </p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/CanadaIsAwesome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CanadaIsAwesome</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>History</span></a><br><a href="https://youtu.be/QSBS9Zu5PE0?si=N4ZbWRKM1JR_bbLB" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">youtu.be/QSBS9Zu5PE0?si=N4ZbWR</span><span class="invisible">KM1JR_bbLB</span></a></p>
