To clarify, I know everybody here is smart but might not know (or even care) that the Southern Cross is a constellation of the Southern Hemisphere.
The British and the French reached an agreement and they didn't care at all about the people who were living there (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island). I didn't study it much but this is my impression. The agreement didn't include the Acadians staying there and they were chased off like the Native Americans were in U.S. Some went into Canada further (Quebec and Toronto). A lot of them didn't like it in the south and had cold winter blood and went back at some point, to the north.
The Great Expulsion, it was called. Horrible circumstances. Are you French at all?
This is a good read, very informative. My history books in school didn't contain this information.

Did you listen to the song, @VThillman ?
My computer is running LinuxMint, and it doesn't hook up with the sound circuitry. It doesn't much bother me, 'cause my hearing sucks anyway. All I got left is memories, about music and some other stuff.

but did you ever like this kind of music?
@Meerkat I do like the Cat Stevens music from the 70s.
I liked Crosby, Stills and Nash - and - early 70s - listened to a lot of Cat Stevens while recovering my senses from a break-up. After my heart stopped bleeding I couldn't stand his stuff.
