A Loisir Radio Canada in French W. Perrin and Yan Patry
A Loisir Radio Canada in French W. Perrin and Yan Patry
Public speaking about their dream vacations
(11:42) - Brancher sur le Coeur by Dit Butler (?)
(14:51) - Acadie a La Louisiane by Bruce Daigrepont
(17:48) - beginning of Perrin interview
(18:23) - What do you want to come from the petition to the British government?
Perrin answers: England had categorized the Cadiens were seen as criminals because that was the justification for the exile and to take over the land in Canada the Cadiens were on. Really they weren’t criminals and we want to change that.
(19:28) - It seems that you haven’t had any trouble in gathering people to join you in this petition?
Perrin answers: There is no one who is against this. I’m happy to say that there are people in Europe, France, Belgium, Romania, Africa, Canada, USA, all over. I have a lot of support for my petition
(20:00) - Who sent this petition?
Perrin answers: I sent it myself in January 1990 to the English government and the government engaged with advocates from Houston, Texas and we discussed the execution of the exile.
(20:26) - Has Mrs. Thatcher or the Queen personally reached out to you?
Perrin answers: I received a phone call from the British Embassy in Washington D.C. and they told me the advocates in Houston would contact me and it’s coming up on three years that we have been discussing with these advocates.
(20:56) - When you started this petition, did you think it would take so long to uncover the truth about this story?
Perrin answers: I never doubted that it would take this long to recover this and I can’t tell how much longer it will take.
(21:37) - Were you always proud to be Acadien? In your family, has that pride always been alive?
Perrin answers: Of course. We even see the younger people who are proud of Cajun heritage and are learning to speak French and preserve the culture of the Acadiens in Louisiana.
(22:08) - Do you celebrate the 15th of August in Louisiana?
Perrin answers: Yes and the AJ Leblanc, director of Acadian Village will put together a big celebration for the anniversary
(22:44) - How did you come to host Yan Patry in your home?
Perrin answers: I met Yan at a conference where I presented my petition in Normandy. I was selected as one of 12 finalist for the conference on Human Rights and Yan’s father, Didier, was also one of the finalists. He asked if we would receive Yan for his vacation in Louisiana and he is staying with us for 5 weeks.
Yan Patry and Perrin:
(23:51) - Intro of Yan Patry
(23:52) - What did you know of the Acadians before your trip?
Patry answers: Absolutely nothing. I had to read up on the history of the Acadians before arriving here
(24:05) - And now, have you learned anything that surprised you?
Patry answers: Definitely. Mr. Perrin showed me fragments of Acadian life and I read a few books he recommended me. It’s impressive to see the persistence of the Acadian culture here. It’s so sad that the French abandoned this little piece of land but in all I’m very honored.
(24:37) - So you’ve met a few Cajun people?
Patry answers: Absolutely, they are so adorable and so kind, always willing to explain things.
(24:52) - Do you think we will see you at the next Congress Mondial 1994 in New Brunswick?
Patry answers: I would love to.
(25:04) - I’m sure you, Mr. Perrin, will not miss this?
Perrin answers: Absolutely not. We had a meeting with some officials here in Louisiana and we estimate that we will have about 2000 Louisianans at Congress this year.
(25:29) - Mr. Perrin, has Yan learned how to Two-Step yet?
Perrin answers: Of course.
(25:39) - Because for the party tomorrow, I’m sure we will be dancing. Alright, hugs to you both and happy 15th of August. We know you won’t hear this transmission where you are and we hope to see you for Summer 94.
Perrin and Yan: Merci beaucoup!

CBC Debate Regarding Petitioning an Apology for the Acadian Deportation from the Queen - Perrin vs Dow
CBC Debate: Perrin vs Dow; 08/19/1994:
Perrin: representative of the Acadians, petitioning for an apology from the British government for the expulsion of the Acadians from New Brunswick in 1755.
Dow: representative of the British government, debating whether the British government is responsible and required to extend an apology to the Acadians for the 1755 expulsion.
(0:06) - Intro statement: Be it resolved that the British government apologized to the Acadians because the expulsion order of 1755 was cruel, illegal, and unnecessary.
(0:21) - Perrin: 2 min opening. 5 points of argument describing the situation of exile. Speaks of his petition of the British crown.
(2:11) - Dow: 2 min rebuttal.
(4:15) - Questions begin: To Dow: How can you defend the cruelty visited on many innocent families by the deportation order by the British Lieutenant Governor?
(4:23) - Dow answers
(5:23) - Perrin rebuttal
(5:52) - To Perrin: Mr. Perrin, The expulsion is the event that defines the Acadian experience for many. Wouldn’t an apology only reaffirm their position as victim rather than a people that triumphed over adversity?
(6:04) - Perrin answers
(7:10) - Dow rebuttal
(7:41) - To Dow: Mr. Dow, What harm would an apology do?
(7:46) - Dow answers
(8:44) - Perrin rebuttal
(9:17) - To Perrin: 239 years ago, Mr. Perrin, that’s a long time. Why do you think we are able to pass judgment about events that happened in tumultuous times so many years ago? Why should we be able to pass judgment on them today?
(9:29) - Perrin answers
(10:33) - Dow rebuttal
(11:25) - Closing remarks. One minute each. Dow begins.
(12:13) - Perrin closing remarks.
(13:15) - end of debate

CBC Interview during Congrés Mondial with Cynthia Maillet
CBC Interview during Congrés with Cynthia Maillet; August 13, 1994:
(0:04) - audio begins. At Université St Anne in Moncton
(0:35) - Perrin states that about 2500 people from Louisiana have come to Congrés
(1:05) - What can Louisiana Cajuns gain from coming here?
(1:10) - Perrin: Our Roots. Difficult to describe.
(1:52) - How many Cajuns are there in Louisiana now?
(2:00) - Perrin: Somewhere between 800,000 to a million indicated on the census form.
(2:34) - How widespread is the language?
(2:39) - Perrin: The language presents a perplexing problem. It is widespread in certain communities, it is found in all communities. But it is found less frequently spoken. Speaks about the French Immersion program.
(3:25) - You yourself, have you always spoken French?
(3:27) - Perrin: I have always been exposed to the French, but I like many individuals in their late 40s, my parents deliberately did not speak French to me because my older brother, who is 52, only spoke French and had problems in school.
(3:53) - What kind of problems?
(3:55) - Perrin: Unable to speak to his teachers and if he tried to speak French, he was punished. So my parents quickly realized the problem and said “we will not speak to Warren in French”. Now I always heard it and I had to speak it to converse with my grandparents and my great-grandparents so it was there. But I didn’t want to speak it either as a child, I didn’t want to speak it in high school and it wasn’t until after I got out of law school which coincided with the renaissance going on around me that I decided I wanted to speak French and I wanted to know more about my culture and heritage. My self-education has been an attempt to learn and speak French as much as possible.
(4:50) - Ask about Perrin’s petition of the British crown for the exile of the Acadians in 1755.
(5:00) - Perrin talks about his petition for an apology from the British government.
(6:14) - How far have you gotten with this? What kind of response have you gotten from the British government?
(6:19) - Perrin: Nearly unanimous support from historians, scholars, professors of international law, from most Francophone countries in the world. It evoked a response from the British Embassy, they retained lawyers in Houston, TX and we have been engaged in good faith negotiations since February of 1990 and those negotiations continue in private.
