What follows is the twenty-sixth instalment of The Nations of Canada, a serialised Quillette project adapted from Greg Koabel’s ongoing podcast of the same name. In our last instalment, we looked at how France began rebuilding its colonies in Quebec and Acadia, territories that had been temporarily occupied by English and Scottish interlopers during the Anglo-French War of 1627–29. This time, we’ll be looking at this period from the perspective of France’s Indigenous allies in the region.

What follows are notes from an 18 March 2025 speech delivered to the University of Western Ontario law-school chapter of the Runnymede Society, a membership-based organisation that promotes the rule of law, constitutionalism, and individual liberty. Since this is a law school and many of you are aspiring lawyers, I’d like to start by telling you a little bit about my brief and extremely unsuccessful legal career—which I think explains why I got into journalism.
