They were both French candian which is what Acadian's were.


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.
