    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

      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.

    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.
