- In 1752, Canada (i.e. what was called Canada at that time) was not a
- British colony. Thus, the "New France" was already synchronized with
- France which is New Style since 1582.
-
- However, the Acadia (New Brunswick and most Nova Scotia except Cape Breton
- Island) were British since 1713. I am not sure about Newfoundland (I
- would say it was British since 1713). British Columbia and Western provinces
- were not yet settled (and if BC was, it was with British date zone).
