I wholeheartedly disagree with this comparison. Newfoundlanders are super kind and welcoming like most Maritimers.
This comparison is just so mean to them, you should apologize.
I was just about to say the exact same thing. Otherwise we would all be hyped for GTA6: Newfoundland
Watch the Donnie Dunphy video Havin a Time
Newfoundland isn’t part of the Maritimes. It’s part of Atlantic Canada, but isn’t a maritime province. Same way that BC is in the West but not part of the prairies.
Oh? I didn’t even know there was a distinction. I learned something new today.
They’re still nice people tho.
The distinction isn’t universal and is often made by people from the three other Atlantic provinces.
The name “the Maritime Provinces” predates Newfoundland joining Canada, so most people from Prince Edward Island (like myself), New Brunswick, or Nova Scotia will draw a distinction between Maritime provinces (which do not include Newfoundland) and the Atlantic Provinces (which do include Newfoundland).
Most people will not even bat an eye if you call Newfoundland a Maritime Province unless they’re from another Maritime province.
You have a fundamental misunderstanding of both Newfoundlanders and Floridians if you think this is true.
This is a false equivalent … as an Ontarian, some of the best Canadians I’ve ever known were Newfies.
Canada was made more whole, much stronger and a hell of a lot funnier when Newfoundland joined us in 1949.
I’d fight any Newfie to win that argument and have a good laugh about it too.
Now Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Texas.
I saw this and was like wut?
What would be the Labrador?
