Moved from Ontario to Newfoundland 22+ years ago after a great career in the military. Truth be told, I hated living here for the first few years and vowed to leave many times. I never did leave Newfoundland.. This is my home now and I love her endlessly! We are a hearty crowd and fiercely protective of our province!
This place is the key to skipping the nuclear apocalypse, newfoundland is 10 years behind the world so I go there, wait 10 years, go back to mainland for a rebuilt society.
I went to see the Statlers many many times, always talked to all of them after the show but Harold Reed was the funniest and also the easiest to talk to, cause at one time he had a girlfriend in my hometown, and he actually seemed to remember me from one or two and sometimes three years apart, and knowing all the ppl he talked to that was amazing to me. Thanks guys for the memories and so so sorry about Harold, a good man and one I considered a friend.
I'm a Torontonians born and raised. Just want to tell all Newfies we love you and I couldn't be prouder to share a country with a beautiful culture like yours. Can't wait to go back.
Only a Newfoundlander can truly understand the the draw we feel for our home. It’s like a strong magnet that pulls our hearts and souls to that beautiful island in the cold Atlantic. The smell of the air greets us and the dark waters reminds us of our limitless love for a place so few even know exist.
