The kindest province in Canada, with the wildest people who only start partying at 2:30 in the morning and don't stop until 5 the next day. Recently described by a survey as having the kindest, most polite people who are the most sexually active in Canada. Newfoundland is the best place in the world.
I live in Newfoundland, or as some people like to call it, the Rock.

An Island on the Atlantic east coast of Canada. In 1949 they became Canadians but before that they were administered by U.K. Economy based on natural resources and tourism. Fishery collapsed in the 80's and never recovered. Fortunately oil exploitation expanded and helped the province finances a little bit but prices fell in the last 4 years and the province struggles financially again. Most folks in NFLD are nice but not more than any other places in Canada just the same. Also like any other place in Canada, NFLD has its quota of complete assholes and racist idiots just the same.
Newfoundland can be a really fun place but it can also be a hell hole filled grumpy folks constantly complaining about mainlanders.

The most easterly province in Canada, alos is home to the most Easterly Point in North America (Cape Spear). The provincial animal is the Puffin, but it should be the Moose! (even though it was only introduced in the 70's). Rich in cultural heritage, and it's natives are the proudest people in the world, as well nicest, and hard working. The women are beautiful and plentiful. It has a breed of dog named after it, Newfoundland Dog. It has the most bars per capita in Canada ... George Street. Here is where you can find the infamous Newfie Screech. The actual Screeching in ceramony is one that is practiced hundreds of thousands of times a year, both in Newfoundland and abroad.
Newfoundland joined confederation in 1949.

Newfoundland is an island of the east coast of Canada, possibly the best place on earth. contrary to popular belief there is no inbreeding what so ever. as a matter of fact, Newfoundland has the most beautiful woman on the face of the planet. Newfoundlanders are smart, hard working, funny, and like nothing more than to have a good drink after a long weeks work. A.K.A PARTY THEIR ASSES OFF! Newfoundland has put out such comedians as Rick Mercer, Mary Walsh and Cathy Jones. They are possibly the nicest people in the world. Sure the weather sucks, but obviously who ever actually cant take it is a pansy ass. All to the point of this guy " notnuffie " who obviously is a huge ass hole and thinks that Newfoundland is a shit hole well news for you dick head...they're amazing people, and just by seeing what you wrote, id rather die than have a conversation with you . The Seal Hunt for Newfoundlanders is a way of life, it keeps people going and has been a source of food, and profit for over 100 years...and up until the 90's they cought a load of fish, and are still working hard to contribute to the worlds oil supply.
Basics, Newfoundland is beautiful, amazing and arguably the funnest place on earth. and a lot of them are very proud and will gladly kick someones ass any day to fight for it.
Man i just got back from Newfoundland, that place kicks ass!
