How Newfoundland & Labrador Lost Their Independence
Did you know that Newfoundland and Labrador were once an independent country in the same manner as Canada was? It's true! It was called the Dominion of Newfoundland and due to a series of unfortunate events, it had to relinquish its independence. In today's video, we cover the vast geography of the province, it's very old history (including Vikings!) and how the country managed to lose its independence when it managed to survive on its own for decades. Oh... and we'll also talk about why Labrador got included in the name years after confederating with Canada.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
