a photograph that my ld took this evening--looking west across Lake Superior with the ice-fishing huts in the distance

苏必利尔湖(LakeSuperior):北美洲五大湖最西北和最大的一个,是世界最大的淡水湖,也是世界仅次于里海的第二大湖(里海是咸水湖)。该湖1622年为法国探险家发现,湖名取自法语,意为“上湖”。湖东北面为加拿大,西南面为美国。湖面东西长616公里,南北最宽处257公里,湖面平均海拔180米,水面积82103平方公里,最大深度405米。蓄水量1.2万立方公里。有近200条河流注入湖中,以尼皮贡和圣路易斯河为最大。

he did a quick ride on a Skidoo on another much much smaller lake, it is quite nice countryside there, just a bit too flat :-)

昨天ld路经安省的Hearst, Kapuskasing,说是镇上的人都说法语,很有意思,我google了一下,安省也有4.1%的French Canadian

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franco-Ontarian

Some communities have a francophone majority. These include Hearst, Kapuskasing, Smooth Rock Falls, Embrun, St. Charles, West Nipissing, Rockland, Casselman, Dubreuilville, Vankleek Hill and Hawkesbury.

Early settlement

The French presence in Ontario dates to the mid-17th century. Early settlements in the region include the Mission of Sainte-Marie among the Hurons at Midland in 1649, Sault Ste. Marie in 1668, and Fort Pontchartrain du Détroit in 1701. Southern Ontario was part of the Pays d'en-haut (Upper Country) of New France, and later part of the province of Quebec until Quebec was split into The Canadas in 1791. However, prior to the Articles of Capitulation of Quebec, which handed control of New France from France to Great Britain, modern-day Ontario had only very limited settlement apart from a few military forts. Modern Franco-Ontarians are instead descended primarily from people who moved to Ontario from Quebec or New Brunswick in the 19th and 20th centuries.
