    Filles du Roi

    The Filles du Roi were a cohort of around 800 unmarried women sponsored by the King to immigrate to New France between 1663 and 1673. At the time, private interests instead gave priority to bringing over male workers. As a result, the French government and religious communities attempted to correct the gender imbalance in the colony. By facilitating the migration of the Filles du Roi, Minister Jean-Baptiste Colbert sought to incentivize male workers, who had finished their contract, and soldiers of the Carignan-Salières regiment (which had just been demobilized) to settle in the colony. Today, many people can trace their ancestry to the Filles du Roi.

    Filmon Re-elected

    Maybe Manitoba was always immune to the trend. Or perhaps the wave of anti-status quo, throw-the-bums-out sentiment that has swept North America - obliterating the federal Conservatives in the 1993 election and congressional Democrats in the United States last fall - is finally beginning to ebb.This article was originally published in Maclean's Magazine on May 8, 1995
