Just an aside BUT,

Aren't there two French Islands , St. Pierre and Maquillion (sp?), that are part of Metroplitan France just right off the coast of Canada?

I remember my history that they were nettlesome to the Allies (including Canada) by broadcasting pro-Vichy France propaganda to the Canadian mainland.

I think Churchill wanted to take them out, but the US was recognizing Vichy France ( a virtual Nazi Germany puppet) at that time to buy time and to avoid the complete take-over the rest of France..

Are they still French today, anybody know?
