hi

Hi, today i was I wondering why the first Canadian settlers who came here from Europe didn't go back to France as soon as they saw the rough, long winter. I think they didn't go back because there were rare spices and a other riches. But they also had to stay on a boat for more then a month just to get here so I dont think they would want to experience that again. If it wasn't for the First Nations, even more of the French settlers might have died from scurvy but the First Nations were nice enough to give them the cure to scurvy as well as teaching them to hunt, and snow shoe. I asked my father how his first winter in canada was, he said "it was very cold because i just came from a country where it almost never snows so i had barley any long sleeve sweters so i had to wear the same thing over and over again for the first month" But he also said it was a very fun experience because, it was the first time he saw snow.
