Hi guy's, I decied to make this thread because.. Well, I was thinking about Newfoundland and how unique we are compared to most of Canada. We Newfoundlanders are one in a million as my grandfather once said. I'll start with what Newfoundland is. Newfoundland is a large island off the coast of Canada, It's the most Eastern point of Canada and it has a very unique shape. Newfoundland was first called "Vineland" when the Vikings landed here about 1000 years ago. 400 years later John Cabot came here and landed in Bonvistia, And declared that this place would be called Newfoundland. John hoped to find spices and gold. But what he got was fish A LOT of fish. John Cabot said " I could put a bucket in the water and I'd get a full bucket of fish in a instant." John Cabot claimed Newfoundland to the King of England. Soon, Europe came all year to fish at the fabled Newfoundland. The fish was named the best in the world. It was a Royal Luxarity. Anyway's a few hundread years later, In 1949, Newfoundland Joined Canada, Where we are today. I Grimly must say, Newfoundland isn't doing good. We are the poorest Provence in Canada, Our Fish, Which was long ago, Unspeakablly large, Has Plumbth about 99%. Also, We are viewed by Canada as a bunch " of idiots who can't do much." Also thanks for the idioticy of the Macarenty's. We are viewed as Barberains who club baby seals. First off, We don't club seal's, We shoot them. And we wait til they are grown up. The reason we shoot them is for the endanged fish we have. Which Ironically is the same fish that use to be very Properous about 400 years ago. The true is, We Newfies are very intelligent people. We are wise and quick witted. And we just kick major arse. During the 9th of October, We had a election, We now have a Consertive Majority, The Consertives have 43 seats, Liberals have 3 seats and the NDP have 1 seat. We are the most eastern point of all North America and is very famous for our accient and our fish. Also we are well known for how much we can drink. XD Newfoundland is very curtual. We created our own Language and are amazing fast talkers. We can talk very quick and understand eachother. The Language I mentioned consits of many words which I have no time to write down. Also, Our Music is world famous, It's excellent dancing music and I respect the music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drPz_Xaq6_I These are my favorite Newfie songs. Hope cha enjoy them as much as I do. Newfoundlanders are also the kindest people you'll ever meet. Where the kindest Canadian's out there. One man I met once told me " If the people where I live was as nice as the people here.. I'd feel safe living at home." Also, Newfies love there Provience of Newfoundland so much that they would throw down there kind and loving rep to defend it in there honor we are fircely patreotic. Also Newfoundlanders Complain about everything XDDDD. Well, Thats my Provience in a nutshell, I could explain more but I'm a little lazy, Thanks for reading. To finish I'll post pics of my homeland. Please post your thoughts.. ![]() The Newfoundland Dog, A Masjectic Dog that is famous for saving drowning people and there great sloppery lips. A Newfoundland dog got it's fame from saving someone from Drowning. If you can guess who then I'm happy. He was a self proclaimed French Emperor who was exiled from France to the Island of Ebola and he is very very tiny. So take a guess XD ![]() ![]() An Iceberg off the coast of Newfoundland ![]() The Provienical Flag. ![]() The Newfoundland Puffin ![]() What Newfoundland Looks Like The View of the Ocean from the shores of Newfoundland |
