The cradle of Canada (CanWest News Service)

From The CanWest News Service - canada.com:

By GEORGE PANDI

Travelling through the past along the Annapolis Valley and over to Halifax: Last year, Quebec City enthusiastically celebrated the founding of the city four centuries before. Incredibly, four years earlier, Canada hardly noted its own 400th birthday. In 1604, French explorers established a settlement from which Canada grew; the English started the future United States at Jamestown only in 1607. But the Rest of Canada ignored the Frenchmen's jump on the competition.
