Prior to 1763, a number of Irish left Ireland to escape the British. They settled in New France to create a new life. In the wars between the France and Britain fought in New France, some (many?) of these Irish fought on the side of the French. Since they would have been considered traitors by the British, if caught, they would be executed rather than taken prisoner of war. As such, they used French names when they enlisted and have not been recognized adequately for their contributions to Quebec's history.

There is something incorrect about the paragraph below, but I'm not certain what it is. Maybe someone can help?
The longest-running Saint Patrick's Day parade in Canada occurs each year in Montreal, Québec. The parades have been held in continuity since 1824; however, St. Patrick's Day itself has been celebrated in Montreal as far back as 1759 by Irish soldiers in the Montreal Garrison following the British conquest of New France.
In 1759, Montreal is still held by the French. It will only fall in 1760. So, either the date is wrong, and should be 1760, or there were Irish troops in the French army who had a parade, which is also a possibility (see paragraph on New France). Which one is it? Anyone know? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zapallon ( talk • contribs) 20:18, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
