Oh

2019-06-11 14:27:21 UTC  

Yeah

2019-06-11 14:27:35 UTC  

Weren't they like the part of the Canada that was independent for the longest?

2019-06-11 14:27:39 UTC  

My friend lives there and he is just not interested in any of the women there because he's convinced they're all inbred.

2019-06-11 14:27:42 UTC  

Not independent.

2019-06-11 14:27:48 UTC  

Well

2019-06-11 14:27:49 UTC  

They were a subject of Great Britain for the longest.

2019-06-11 14:27:53 UTC  

You know what I mean

2019-06-11 14:27:58 UTC  

But they didn't enter the confederation until 1950.

2019-06-11 14:28:00 UTC  

Independent from Cannacuk rule

2019-06-11 14:28:06 UTC  

Yeah

2019-06-11 14:29:24 UTC  

Newfies are based though. Nicest people you'll ever meet.

2019-06-11 14:29:52 UTC  

Work obsessed though.

2019-06-11 14:30:05 UTC  

Every Newfie I've met isn't a dogfucker like most maritimers are.

2019-06-11 14:41:14 UTC  

Workaholics are the worst
I could understand working hard when you're working for yourself, but for some fucking CEO of some fucking wageslave corporation that will kindly give you back a small amount of the profit you produced?

2019-06-11 14:41:17 UTC  

No thanks

2019-06-11 14:43:16 UTC  

Most of them are tradespeople and laborers. The joke used to be that the biggest city in Newfoundland was Fort MacMurray because so many of them were oil workers in Alberta.

2019-06-11 14:44:16 UTC  

>tradespeople

2019-06-11 14:44:17 UTC  

That's what my Dad does now, he started his own company with just himself and Mom so now he's in a corporate tax bracket and contracts all of his work out.

2019-06-11 14:44:22 UTC  

Now that's understandable

2019-06-11 14:44:26 UTC  

Yeah

2019-06-11 14:44:36 UTC  

A lot of maritimers are physical laborers.

2019-06-11 14:44:43 UTC  

The Mexicans of Canada really

2019-06-11 14:44:43 UTC  

Based af

2019-06-11 14:45:01 UTC  

Or Hohols of Canada

2019-06-11 14:45:19 UTC  

Nah we have Ukrainians out in Alberta and the praries.

2019-06-11 14:45:26 UTC  

They came here during the 1800's for whatever reason

2019-06-11 14:45:57 UTC  

My grandpa hated them and my aunt married an RCMP officer with Ukrainian heritage so that was always interesting dinner discussion.

2019-06-11 14:46:28 UTC  

Prolly cause Russian empire was poor af then and you could get sent to Siberia for advocating independent Ukraine

2019-06-11 14:46:36 UTC  

Just like for any other nation of Russian empire

2019-06-11 14:46:50 UTC  

That was also the time when a lot of Poles emigrated to the New World

2019-06-11 14:47:32 UTC  

Mostly from Congress Kingdom of Poland, but also from Prussia (Grand Duchy of Poznan) and Austria (Kingdom of Galicia-Volhynia)

2019-06-11 14:50:48 UTC  

Yeah I got some family that came here around that time as well to be coal miners.

2019-06-11 14:50:54 UTC  

From east Prussia

2019-06-11 14:51:26 UTC  

Yeah, but they were Germans and from German part of the Prussia, so it's a bit of a different thing

2019-06-11 14:51:51 UTC  

In case of Poles and Ukrainians it was often too avoid persecution

2019-06-11 14:51:54 UTC  

Yeet.

2019-06-11 14:52:03 UTC  

Because of political views

2019-06-11 14:52:03 UTC  

Yeah I think the Ukrainians here was facing some religious opposition

2019-06-11 14:52:07 UTC  

Or something like that.

2019-06-11 14:52:07 UTC  

And taking part in uprisings
