The Acadians were the French Canadian farmers in Nova Scotia. They were a particular isolationist group that was ousted from their land.
All Acadians were French Canadian, not all French Canadians were Acadian.
And New Orleans was founded by the Catholic French and later ruled by the Catholic Spanish. The Catholic roots of the city don't come from the Acadians, as they mostly settled in the previously uninhabited prairie and bayou areas.

There has been a lot of bad history in this thread. Acadians were French Canadians who lived in what is now Nova Scotia.
Quebecers are not Acadians, but they are French Canadian.
New Orleans is not a Cajun city any more than Montreal is. Certainly there are Cajun influences in New Orleans, but the origin of New Orleans is not Cajun. The French who settled in New Orleans originally were primarily from France and then a bit later from Haiti (Creoles, people of French ancestry born in the French colonies). The traditional Creole culture of New Orleans was different form the Acadian culture, generally being somewhat more sophisticated. In more recent times there has been a tendency to see them as the same. But historically and accurately speaking, they are different, but share similarities.
