Read First: Gillis Timeline in the Scottish Isles

Brilliant blog by Kathleen Gillis. It surly is a wealth of information on the Gillis family of Christmas Island, Cape Breton lineage. Thank You Kathleen for this priceless source of info on our shared Barra family roots. An-bhuioch ❤

My Gillis Family History

Above you will see our coat of arms. What’s interesting is that the motto is the same as the MacPhersons, but the image is more closely related to the MacNeils. I think that only a trip to Barra will make it clear. We are not MacPhersons, we have proven that, but did we take the motto with us to Barra when we split from the group that went to the mainland?

All of this timeline information comes from the articles contained in this blog. I have to insert the links to each historical excerpt – but if you look carefully you can get a good idea which article the references come from by the titles from the front page.

August 18, 1755 – This Day During The French & Indian War – The Ile Saint-Jean Campaign

Well researched article about the lesser known although equally important Isle Saint Jean campaign circa 1758 ultimately leading to the round up and mass deportation of the Isle St Jean Acadians including the majority of those who had only recently escaped the first wave of the deportations at Port Royale in 1755. Excellent piece 🙂

U S Military History

August 18, 1755 – The Ile Saint-Jean Campaign was a series of military operations in fall 1758, during the French and Indian War, to deport the Acadians who either lived on Ile Saint-Jean (present-day Prince Edward Island) or had taken refuge there from earlier deportation operations. Lieutenant-Colonel Andrew Rollo led a force of 500 British soldiers to take possession of Ile Saint-Jean. The percentage of deported Acadians who died during this campaign made it the deadliest of all the campaigns during the Expulsion (1755–1762). The total number of Acadians deported during this campaign was second only to Bay of Fundy Campaign (1755). The British Conquest of Acadia happened in 1710. Over the next forty-five years the Acadians refused to sign an unconditional oath of allegiance to Britain. During this time period Acadians participated in various militia operations against the British and maintained vital supply lines to the French Fortress of…

Federal lobbyists /neo con supporters just don’t get it eh??

My next door neighbour is a federal lobbyist and a major neo con supporter!! Oh and did I mention I am forced to sit and listen to her go on and on about how great her and her party is??? No well I do but today was funny! 

Waiting for my kid at the bus stop,when miss neo con supporter starts going off about how she totally “destroyed” @billcaseyns people at the door by stating facts about his horrible record…..I had to interrupt and tell her she is stating the facts for sure but there is one thing though, his horrible record was while he was in Stephen Harpers cabinet!
 I said he resigned from his cabinet poison because of ethics and his own values!! All the other working poor parents all stopped to listen! I went on to say that no matter what party they are from, they are all well off like you and none of them know what it’s like to struggle to pay rent and buy food. 
See this women owns her own business and is a freaking lobbyist for god sakes so she was way out of her comfort zone talking with the other working poor families at our local bus stop. When I mentioned how if we had a national childcare program like Quebec where here millionaire boyfriend comes from, people like us could afford the basics of what people like her and all politicians take for granted everyday, stress free basic living! Instead of coming back with anything useful to say, she kind of ignored it and kept going on about her up coming trip to Ottawa for a meeting with health Canada! I didn’t have to say to much after that when the other parents where all smiling super fake smiles and nodding their heads like they gave a dame. 
Regular folks need change and her govt is doing nothing to make my life easier so it’s time for Justin Trudeau to take his rightful place as our next great prime minister. Harper is done, and I don’t think their supporters know that yet…. Well at least my neighbour doesn’t seem to have a clue. LOL ✌🏻️❤️

The Economic Struggle of east coasters.

Great entry from Simon Williams 😊

limey666

 I live in the East Coast of Canada and we are being slowly forced out of our rural areas because of the economic strangle hold our federal and provincial goverments  are forcing us to live under.

the jobs that are avalible if you manage to find one will pay you the bare minimum they can get away with and deny you benifits because you conviniatly only make 28 hours a week and dont actually qualify  as full time but part time and part time employees arnt entitaled to benifits.  I am not looking for a lot just a little job security and a wage that allowes me to pay my rent, put food on the table while providing a little quality of life for my wife and children. hell summer just ended and i can count on my hand the amount of time we spent at the beach (and i…

Another anniversary without justice😔

  So another anniversary will go by without any justice served!RIP my dear friends, we will keep fighting until we finally get the truth. We will never stop until the world knows what really happened to you. We will always stand up for you and your families. We will always take the criticism and ridicule that comes our way for being truthers and throw it back in their faces with facts and science to back it up. We will never give up the struggle to reveal the truth of what really happened that day. This is our promise to you. 

We will never forget and we won’t let anyone else forget either. We are growing in numbers, I see it everyday and the next generation almost all know 911 was an inside job. 

The memory of you and the countless millions that died after because of illegal wars will keep us fighting the good fight. We will never give up, we are united world wide and the powers that be all know it.  

  
My awakening started in 2000 and yes,I know this is suppose to be about 9/11 but just let me explain because it leads into my 9/11 awakening. It all started after the 2000 American presidential election when George W Bush became President without winning the election against Al Gore. I started looking into how this could have possibly happened in the all powerful, freedom loving country like America, it didn’t take very long to put the pieces together and so started my obsession with the infamous Bush Administration. I watched the news everyday and read every newspaper I could get my hands on especially news stories that came from outside of North America because I found that our media was extremely bais. I had this feeling that I needed to keep informed and up to date on what he was working on, focusing mainly on the administrations foreign policy. It turned out that he wasn’t doing much of anything. Every time they would report from the white house Bush wasn’t their, he was in Texas on his ranch doing meaningless non presidential things like golfing and cutting trees down with a chain saw pretending to be some kind of redneck cowboy…I was disgusted, I stopped watching the news after awhile because it just made me angry and then it happened! September 11th 2001, I was doing my laundry in the local laundry mat trying to prepare for my first flight later that day.I was so nervous for like a week before because I had never flown before. Anyway, so I am loading my clothes in the dryer and someone yelled “turn on the news, the world trade center was hit by a plane” as soon as I turned on the tv there it was! The North Tower smoldering with people hanging out the windows trying to breath and I swear to god the first thing I thought off was the “President” on vacation in Crawford for almost 6 months, saying he was still “workin’ on stuff”! Then the questions started going off in my head like a time bomb ” How could NORAD let this happen? Then after the Pentagon was hit, how could the hijackers even enter that air space over Washington without being shot down?? From that day on and still to this very day I seek the real truth about 9/11 because I know we are all being lied to. With all the evidence we have proving without a doubt 9/11 was indeed an inside job please do the right thing and open your mind up to the fact that you are all just pawns in the elitists corporate take over of the world . I suggest you start with the demolition of WTC7. Many people had no idea a third building fell that wasn’t hit by a plane until a group of brave architects, engineers and other professionals started telling people by challenging the official government story. A&E for 9/11 truth has grown to over 2000 certified architects and engineers that fight for a new investigation not just to prove that science is always right but for the families of the victims to get some much needed accountablity,justice and closure. I am 100% sure if you look into it yourself, you will come to the same conclusion ….9/11 was planned to help kick start the war on terror, made tons of cash for their rich lobbyist donors, never ending wars, and last but not least, the patriot act. Do your own research and wake the hell up before it is to late. #911truth #FOT.
