Was Newfoundland right to vote to join Canada?
>>16596456the newfies were propagandized into itread this book to understand how the newfies got psyopped
In hindsight? No. Why surrender your resources to the Ottawa mandarins? Their cod was decimated
>>16596456yes, newfies were dirt poor and joining Canada gave them a shitload of welfare gibs and a generally higher standard of livingif you want to see what Newfoundland would look like if it didn't join Canada and stayed independent look at the deindustrialized shithole towns of northern England/Northern Ireland
>>16596791Braindead take, being independent would have allowed the bumfuck fishing lads there get rich off of the booming industry and it’s never ending demand post Chinese civil war, they would have gotten rich like the Icelandic people and made a booming tourist destination for Canucks living in their pozzed state. This isnt the 1800’s, it is now more than ever beyond the correct choice to balkanize in the west since the USA will protect you for free
>>16596802same braindead take which led Britain to think leaving the EU would help the economy LOL. you're too dumb to be independent newfie ginger, deal with it
>>16596900>UK leaving an economic union is the same as not completely joining another nationRetarded take, this is more equivalent to Catalonia becoming independent while remaining in the EU, also this place is a resource behemoth unlike the resource barren UK reliant on a service economy. Retarded bong
>>16596907>this is more equivalent to Catalonia becoming independent while remaining in the EUretarded take LOL, face it newfie you're not getting anywhere on your own, ever. Look at inner Glasgow if you want to see what St. John's would look like independent
>find new land>name it New Found LandDo Anglos really?
>>16596907>also this place is a resource behemothWith barely a population to work it.
>>16597012Damn i bet northern Chile and western Bolivian lithium must be going unmined right now same with Emirati oil, if only they had people or if there was a magical way to get foreign workers to come work but alas migrant workers dont exist >>16596934Dumb bong seething his cunt is coming apart
Confederation was a mistake, all 4 of the Atlantic provinces were systematically crippled economically to benefit business owners in Ontario and Quebec
>>16596802Weren’t they bankrupted though and lost a high percentage of their young men in WW1. I think what you are saying is correct but it doesn’t matter if they can’t exist for a few more decades until their industries take off.
>>16597094Dubai literally has labour issue where it's natives LITERALLY cannot function in the economy.
>>16597574Its natives receive a large stipend to do fuck all and stimulate the economy while not working, no one is worried about the million pajeet slaves who will never be natives nor the white monkeys doing everything important for peanuts
I'm happy that there's no border gore but NF should have fought to join the US.
>>16597135this>>16596791Canada's governing blew threw the primary economic asset, and reason for settling the fucking island in the first place in about 40 years, how could anyone possible do worse than that?
