    I didn't find that post funny at all, I'm from Newfoundland, Everyone I know are hard working people, We are a "Have province" and the only province in Canada that HAS NOT been affected by the recession unlike Ontario,which is broke I might add...
    These so called "newfie jokes" are in bad taste and considered by many Newfoundlanders as offensive the same as using the "N" word....
    see here http://www.argentia.org/newfie.htm
    It's no different than words like 'chink' or 'coon' or 'paki' or '***'... Once a word has a history of being used to put down a group of people, it can never really be reclaimed as a positive term. And whether they agree about that, or not, I don't think you'll find one Newfoundlander who doesn't know the word is offensive to hundreds of thousands of fellow NL'ers.

    Notice my user name is Canadian Max, I consider myself a Canadian First then a Newfoundlander second BUT when I read crap from Canadians like this I'm a proud Newfoundlander first!

    Newfoundlander!

    Ok, I will excuse your poor spelling as hard as it is :rolleyes:
    A "Joke" as you put it...Not so.
    Using the term Newfie is a offensive term. Same as using the N word
    Racist jokes aren't funny to smart people. they're embarrassingly out of date.
    Clearly any interpretation of the joke will be subjective. I am willing to bet that the majority of opinion (especially within my circle of friends, In a Newfoundland community) would agree it's offensive. The degree of offense is irrelevant. So this then becomes another example of the social wedge, that of which is rooted in racism.
    "The word 'Newfie' is associated with 'Newfie jokes', typical Canadian ethnic jokes told and retold since the days of the American and Canadian military presence in Newfoundland during World War II. The jokes almost always depict Newfoundlanders as stupid, and lacking in sophistication or intelligence. Many such jokes are identical to ethnic jokes that are used to put down other groups. An insulting 'Newfie' joke can be considered the Canadian equivalent to American jokes depicting people from the Southern states as stupid. Within Newfoundland, 'Newfie jokes' usually contain characters of another ethnicity which underestimate the Newfie who will outsmart them, sometimes unknowingly, at the end of the joke. In March 2006, an Edmonton police officer was disciplined for using the word Newphie [sic] to describe the apprehension of an individual under the Mental Health Act.[3] This explicitly derogatory usage is particularly prevalent in locations (such as northern Alberta) where large numbers of Newfoundlanders have migrated for economic opportunities."
