I think you know that the British colony of Newfoundland considered joining the United States or Canada, decided for latter March 31, 1949---not without great reluctance of a proud people embracing the "wolf" Canada.

It has been sovereign in protecting its own interests including those of large communities of Innu and Inuit, and significantly and collectively made huge sacrifices to the national interest in the Canadian value of resource-sharing.

Its Churchill Falls and Muskrat Falls, now coming on line, keeps north-east US snug, warm and lights burning with clean energy, without a thought of anyone imposing decisions on Newfoundland, multiculturally or otherwise.

Newfoundlanders buttle to no one, including the Seven Sisters who tried mightily.
