About Me

Text engraved on celtic cross

of Grosse-Ile (Saint-Lawrence River, Québec) where thousands of Irish immigrants had to be quarantined, bearing typhus after they crossed the Atlantic (30-40 days) in overloaded coffin ships: (Irish gaelic-to-English translation, Edward Laxton, The Famine Ships, Owl books): Children of the Gael,

died in thousands on this island,

Having fled from the laws,

of their foreign tyrants,

And an artificial famine

in the years 1847-48*

God’s loyal blessing upon them,

Let this monument be a token,

to their name and honour,

From the Gaels of America

Grosse-ÃŽle was profaned by the Canadian Army during World War II, as it was used to perform chemical and bacteriological tests.The French Patriotes leader, Louis-Joseph Papineau,

along with the Irish Edmund Bailey O'Callaghan

(creator of the Dewey librarian classification system),

have been recognized as major politicians between 1833-1837,

for the introduction of a representative system for Québec

(then called Lower Canada).

While their work was abruptly interrupted

by the violent rebellion of the Patriotes in 1837-1838

against the British government, and their subsequent exile,

the platform they defended ultimately triumphed

in future constitutional reforms,

which gave rights to Quebecers...
