February 7, 1763 (CHAPTER 4)

     This just in, the Treaty of Paris has been signed! The British and the French have come to some understanding about what to do with New France, now renamed Quebec by Britain. The British now want to know how to please everyone, so they must decide who to side with in order to not be overthrown. 
     - The Canadiens, with their 70,000, want to keep their French and Roman Catholic lifestyle, and keep the Coureurs des Bois. Now let's here from one of their own.
"Well, I think I speak for all of us when I say that we are determined to bring back our French and Roman Catholic religion. We also would like to continue the Coureurs des Bois because they have been a lifeline in maintaining New France/Quebec." Says an anonymous source.
     - The English merchants and farmers, with a number of only about 500 people, are asking for quite a bit. They intend to take over the entire fur trade business and change life in Quebec from French to English. Let's see what they have to say about this matter.
"They Merchants of the British colony have a great matter of showing what they want, considering they provide the colonies food supply. We also think that going deeper into the interior through free land would help because we would be able to provide more crops and food for the colonies." Said a farmer named William Charmings.
     - The First Nations Peoples want to continue their traditional ways of life, and want some involvement in the fur trade. Now let's hear from a chief from among the 59,000 First Nations.
"In addition to all of that, we demand that no more settlers can be able to enter into our territory. We would also like to expand our land and take control of the Ohio Valley." Chief Minweweh states in a demanding tone.
     - The thirteen American parties, themselves and their 2.5 million occupants, are requesting that they expand control of the fur trade, and and to expand there settlements! Now let's hear from one of their sources!
"We are requesting that the British let us expand our settlements into the the Ohio Valley, father north along the Atlantic coast and along the borders of Quebec. We are also requesting that we get greater control of the fur trade." Says an unknown source.  
     Now, we know that the British cannot fulfil all of their wishes and requests, but we will update you when we get some more information.
     Tune in later for some more breaking news, in B.N.A.
