c. 1200: English, Irish, Norse fisherman begin fishing off the coast of Newfoundland. I think it's not true.

The reference to "1701 – Cornwallis – French" is dubious. The linked article redirects to Charles Cornwallis, 1st Marquess Cornwallis who was born in 1738, after the claimed foundation date. It's also unclear which Cornwallis is being referred to; the best candidate would seem to be Cornwallis Township, Nova Scotia, whence (according to the article) French colonists were expelled in the mid-18th century, but, again, 1701 is before that settlement's namesake Edward Cornwallis was born (1713) - the New England Planters arrived from 1759 onwards.
