Understand

New Brunswick is part of historic Acadia, an early 17th century French land claim in North America. Governed by the British in the 19th century, Acadia was forcibly depopulated by the British and its inhabitants dispersed. Many settled in Louisiana, then still under French rule, where their descendants are known as "Cajuns". The music of the regions has become fused, with Zydeco styles becoming popular in recent years.

New Brunswick boasts a bizarre selection of roadside vegetable stands. Driving through the province on the otherwise boring Trans-Canada highway in the south, one passes by giant potatoes, giant strawberries, and other giant vegetables.

New Brunswick has wonderful beaches, and truly marvellous tides on the Bay of Fundy (world's highest).

Talk

New Brunswick is the only province in Canada that is officially bilingual (English and French). Francophones speak a dialect known as Acadian French, which is closely related to Quebecois French, but has some different vocabulary and pronunciation. Acadian French speakers are instantly recognizable by their charming and strongly trilled r.

Near Moncton and in other urban areas, a distinct English-French creole language known as chiaque is spoken. It's frowned upon as "bad French" by Francophones and "bad English" by Anglophones, but it's popular among young people. Some effort is being made to rehabilitate chiaque, with a nascent literature and support organizations.
