I am not a minority, I am one of two equal linguistic communities. I am not a 'francophone living outside Quebec', I am a people called Acadian, recognized by the constitution, recognized by us. I have authors, humourists and musicians that are famous internationally but unknown to the other half of New Brunswick. I have poets instead of politicians. My poets write about politics.
Every Acadian artist includes the sea in their art.
I know the difference between poutine rap e, poutine trou, poutine au pain, poutine carreautee, poutine du Qu bec and Vladimir Poutine. I don't have a middle name, I have two given names. I put on a good party on the '15 ao t'. My national day, on August 15, may become an industry, even before it becomes a legal holiday. My university is not just a university, it is a nation's university, it is Acadie's address.
