Canadian whose ancestors fought for the British ‘convinced’ they were wrong after watching NYC America 250 celebrations
He’s turning coat.
Canadian David Bonin, 58, told The Post his ancestors fought in the American Revolution for the British — but seeing the July 4 celebrations has convinced him they were wrong.
“I think we should have followed the US and ousted the British,” said the Montreal native, after explaining he could trace his lineage back to British Loyalists based in Niagara Falls during the Revolution.
Bonin admitted he had never been to the US for July 4, but wanted to come and watch the country celebrate its independence.
He drove down from Montreal Friday night, parking his car in Westchester’s Sleepy Hollow before taking the train to New York City to watch Sail4th 250.
“They really get into it. They do everything super well,” he said, adding that he was now rethinking his thoughts about Canada.
