I'm from Newfoundland, ma'fuckas.
Take it easy!
1) NFL doesn't mean Newfoundland. NL is the correct abbreviation.
2) Newfoundland technically ISN'T apart of the Maritimes. We have our own separate timezone for Christ sakes.
3) The Canadian Curling Team who won Gold at the Olympics were NEWFOUNDLANDERS.
4) The guy nominated for Album of the Year and Song of the Year at this years Juno Awards is a NEWFOUNDLANDER.
5) Worldwide artists such as Pearl Jam, Hilary Duff, George Jones, Willie Nelson, Alice Cooper, and Bryan Adams have all sold out concerts here in the past 6 months or so.
6) Newfoundland was the first province to respond to Titanic's distress signal.
7) We were the first to host a transatlantic flight.
8) We were the first to have wireless communication in the world.
9) We have... the oldest street in North America, the oldest city in North America, the oldest rock in the world, the oldest continuous sporting event (Royal St. John's Regatta), the largest university in Atlantic Canada (MUN), the most pubs per square foot in Canada (George Street).
10) We are the sexiest people in Canada (Macleans magazine survey), the only province that has FOUR identifiable flags, the only province able to land the space shuttle (Stephenville, NL), the most giving people in Canada (Stats Canada), and of course, the most sexually active people in all of Canada (Stats Canada).
So, please don't belittle us or put us behind any other provinces.
Ignorance is bliss..
