    But Cajun French was born long before today's French was standardized in France. When people left France for nova scotia 300 years ago they were cut off and they took the language with them on the journey to louisiana. And it ended up here. It's very old form of French, long before the French language became standardized in there own country.
    Kinda like Quebec joual.

    "Cajun" is the way they pronounced 'Canadian' and it's Dixieland because the word 'Dix', French for 10, appeared on their local currency. For trivia junkies.

    I am aware of the heritage, I did not know about the language. And the Food. the difference is night and day. Was there a certain part of france where the Cajun Cuisine originated or did it come out of the availability for food sources and spices in LA

    No. You have no idea.

    Cajun is short for Acadians from Nova Scotia or Acadie who were exiled by the British.

    Wow, I would have thought a Canadian would know better.
    Must be one of those British Columbia natives, eh?

    I have no idea about what? Are you being a smartass?

    Yes, I saw that on the Internet as well. Acadia no longer exists.

    Seems sources differ but it's all Canadian.

    In January 2012, Leo directed GOP pollster Kellyanne Conway to bill the Judicial Education Project, a non-profit group he advises. He then ordered that money be used to pay Ginni Thomas, telling Conway that he wanted to “give” Thomas “another 25k”.
    “No mention of Ginni, of course,” Leo told Conway, who later became a senior adviser to Donald Trump, the Post reports. The subsequent bill sent to the JEP by Conway’s firm, the Polling Company, titled the purpose as “Supplement for Constitution Polling and Opinion Consulting”, according to documents reviewed by the Post.
    Later that year, the JEP filed an amicus brief in a case that challenged a civil rights law that sought to protect minority voters. In a 5-to-4 majority which Clarence Thomas was part of, the supreme court stripped away a formula in the Voting Rights Act that determined which states had to get federal permission before altering their voting rules and procedures.
