Just as an aside, this is a hilarious quote coming from someone who lives in Newfoundland, the province that joined the Canadian Confederation only because of promises made by the biggest communist of all, Joey Smallwood. If God was to give the world an enema, Newfoundland is where He would stick the tube. The only reason the residents of this wet, cold and miserable dung hole survive is because of Canada's generous social programs. Now back to our regular programming.

Sound kind of rachis there BB. how does someone from Alabama even know there is a Newfoundland and have such a bad opinion of a province of Canada. I agree with you on Joey Smallwood, never liked him or his politics. I don't agree with your assessment of Newfoundland. Canada wanted Newfoundland to join because of our natural resources even though they gave the impression that they did us a favour by "letting" us join. Newfoundland contributes more per capita to GNP of Canada than any other province, a fact most people don't know. We educate our kids that have to leave the province and work in other provinces, so we are a cheap labour supply for Canada. For years Canada looked down on Newfoundlanders as the black people were looked down on in the states. Thank God that has changed over the years as people realized we were just as good as they were. There are still some that are ignorant and stuck in their prejudicial ways, we'll always have those to contend with.
