England Declares War on France
18 May 1756
The Seven Years War
On 18 May 1756, England formally declared war on
France. This war is known as the Seven Years War in Canada and
Europe, but in the United States it is called the French and Indian
War. In 1756, France controlled far more territory in North
America than England did — five years later this had changed forever,
with England having taken all of France's territory on mainland North
America.
Seven Years War Timeline

The Seven Years War, 1756-1763, was a worldwide
war fought in Europe, North America, and India between France, Austria,
Russia, Saxony, Sweden, and Spain on the one side and Prussia, Great
Britain, and Hanover on the other.

This is an interesting case. In responding the question "How computer savvy are you?", asked by the New Glasgow Evening News and published on 10 June 2006 (three days before the election), Mr. Clark stated "I have 3 years college education, 1.5 years work experiences in IT (information technology), and I am CompTIA A+ and Network+ certified." Yet he has no website for his election campaign, and no personal e-mail (just the party general delivery).

Microsoft Windows Vista Releases Worldwide
Windows Vista is the latest release of Microsoft Windows, a line of graphical operating systems used on personal computers, including home and business desktops. More than 90% of all desktop computers in the world run on some version of Microsoft's Windows operating system. On 8 November 2006, Windows Vista development was completed and released to manufacturing. Over the next two months it was released to MSDN subscribers, and computer hardware and software manufacturers. On 30 January 2007, it was released worldwide to the general public, and became available for download from Microsoft's website, more than five years after the release of its predecessor, Windows XP. Windows Vista features a slick new graphics set, more security functions and a new version of Microsoft's browser, Internet Explorer. Vista requires at least 512 megabytes of memory to run in bare-bones mode, but for the whole experience, the company recommends at least one gigabyte of memory, and two gigabytes would be even better. The operating system also needs at least a 40 gigabyte hard drive with 15 gigabytes free space and a DVD drive.

Attack at Grand Pre
11 February 1747 3am
History of Nova Scotia: Battle at Grand Pre, 1747 by Peter Landry
...This was December in the Bay of Fundy and it could not have been
expected that any great time would be made by sailing. The vessels
would have had to buck head winds; and, so too, they had to buck the
reversing tides of the Fundy, the fastest and the highest in the world.
The land loving men on the sailing vessels, at one point, became
nervous and they were put ashore at the
"French Cross"
(Morden), on the other side of the North Mountain; they would simply
meet the sailors and their vessels at Grand Pre, whenever they got
there. Thus, on Christmas eve of 1746, we would have seen a couple of
hundred New Englanders being put ashore; they were to make their
way from there, best they can. This second group, while they might have
originally thought that they were to have the easier time of it, had a
tough eight day march, "without paths or guides," through the winter
snow, over the Aylesford mountain and along unmarked sidehills,
northeast, down the valley, until, finally, they met the south bank of
the River Gaspereau, and there to find their comrades; who, most
likely, were by then, well settled in at their destination,
Grand Pre. It was now January; the ground would most likely have
been frozen and covered with the snows of winter...

Battle of Bloody Creek

Footnotes to Chapter 10: Port Royal and The English Takeover: 1690-1744 by Peter Landry
The ambush took place about 12 miles northeast of the fort on the north side
of the Annapolis River. Now known as Bloody Creek, a memorial marks the spot
today on the south side of the river just where highway 201 intersects
Bloody Creek, a mile west of the present day community of Carleton Corner...

First Representative Government in Canada
2 October 1758
Most of Canada's basic Constitutional Rights
were first won in the Nova Scotia legislature
"...being the First General Assembly convened in the said province."
First page of the Nova Scotia Statutes of 1758
Source: The Legislative Assembly of Nova Scotia 1758-1983: A Biographical Directory
edited and revised by Shirley Burnham Elliott, ISBN 088871050X
published 1984 by the Province of Nova Scotia
Representative government: A term used for government with an elected assembly. These assemblies, in the British tradition, are the only body with the right to legislate and tax citizens. In Canada, representative government was first won in Nova Scotia in 1758.
Responsible government: A term used for government responsible to the electorate (for example, through elections). In Canada, the term was coined in the 1830s in Upper Canada to refer to a government that was responsible to the elected members of the House of Assembly. Prior to 1848, governors could select the Executive Council (the equivalent of today's Cabinet) without the support of the Assembly. On the instructions of the colonial office in Britain, the first responsible government in British North America was formed in Nova Scotia in 1848.

Planters' Arrival
1760
In 1759, New England farmers and fishermen sent
agents to Halifax to discuss with Governor Lawrence the settlement of
the underdeveloped areas of Nova Scotia. Substantial immigration began
in 1760 and by late 1763 several thousand settlers were established
throughout Nova Scotia.
They were particularly successful in the area around Minas Basin, where they took up the fallow lands of the displaced Acadians.
By 1780, Edmund Burke could describe the province of Nova
Scotia as "formed by the overflowings of the exuberant population of
New England". The influx was to have a significant effect on the
character and development of the province.

Early June 1760
Historical narrative (title and author not known)
...The Haliburton family records tell of an even larger number of settlers,
who sailed together in a fleet of twenty-two vessels conveyed by a brig-of-war
with sixteen guns under the command of Captain Pigot that reached the
Cornwallis Town Plot on June 4, 1760. Horton Landing in King's County on
the opposite side of the river from Cornwallis had been the chief place of
anchorage for vessels going to Grand Pre through the whole French period in
Acadia, but there is no record of a ship landing at Horton until Sunday,
June 7, 1760, the day Betty Wickwire, the daughter of Captain Peter Wickshire
of New London, was born in the harbor of Horton Soon there would be ports
at Hortonville, Wolfville, and Avonport...
