The Islander - Shanneyganock - Lyrics ,

[@Cacolucia2]

When I lived in Newfoundland, I didn't take it seriously, and I hated it. But after I moved to Ontario, I realized that it is the greatest place in the world

[@jungeenibale4228]

this took the words out of my mouth.. I'll bee moving to bc in about 3 months from now nd I have spent the last 2 yrs here in NL and felt that I haven't takwn seriously as well

[@elDuderino87]

This is great to hear. I’ll be leaving Ontario for Newfoundland and plan to stay. I can’t wait to leave this province.

[@imewkai]

This is exactly what I went through. Except I moved to friggin' TEXAS! I never realized how full of culture we are until I left. Typical.

Anyone who isn't born here but moves here and sticks it out for all the good and the bad then, you are a Newfoundlander, through and through. If you have/do these things like us then that's what makes us, US. (well most of us lol) *Firstly, and most important* *-A deep, undying love for this Rock that we call Newfoundland* *Then* -A cast-iron will. -Hatred for our own weather. -Not moving because of said weather. -Always trying to be considerate and friendly to strangers (most times lol). These few things are our just some of what makes up a Newfoundlander but if you can check each of those off your list then, by God me ol' trout, you are a true blue Newfoundlander b'y Oh, also on pronouncing Newfoundland, our most common way is Newf-in-land but please don't pronouce it New-fin-lind or New-found-lind because no joke many of us, well we hate when our Island's name is pronouced wrong, especially on T.V. lol Sorry for the long message, but I love talking about this place lol.

Thanks, but it's not there enough in the young people here anymore, sadly. Truly, us Newfoundlanders have had it rough compared to most of Canada, on the financial, political and cultural sides, definitely, and taking great pride in this rock is my way of showing all my ancestors including those who've served King and country for hundreds of years, and fellow my Newfoundlanders, how much I appreciate everything they went through to get us to this point.

[@jamesonpearson123]

+Josh N right on man, i mean many people (my grandparents included) lived a while before joining Canada

[@spandyandy1]

It has absolutely nothing to do with geography, but culture and a sense of connectedness to one's ancestors and the people around them. It's a completely normal and healthy phenomenon to take pride in one's culture, why most North Americans don't is a mystery to me.

[@Garrett111]

I consider Newfoundland a good bit separated from the rest of Canada. We joined in 1949 and have kept most of our individuality to this day. Not to mention the Canadian government treats us as an afterthought boon in the middle of nowhere. I will always be Newfie before a Canadian

[@meatyoakergeorge]

To OP - Not knowing the past history wouldn't help, and like @spandyandy1 said it's not a geographical thing, it's a cultural/societal thing, and when you don't know any of the history, you wouldn't even be able to understand the reasons why.

[@truenorthgames]

I work with a newfoundland guy

[@TheRedFlag1916]

Some Newfies learn the Irish language at MUN uni but our own dialect of the Irish language called Gaeilge Thalamh an Éisc died out a long time ago. There is not much written about it but it seems to have resembled Munster Irish. Newfoundland Irish was at one point the main language of the predominately Irish areas of this province notably the south east Avalon. Sadly we are taught nothing about how the Irish came to Newfoundland, the reasons for it and the hardships they endured.

[@Mihoyminoy124]

I was born and raised in Ontario but I love the idea of going to newfoundland and they are super nice too it's not a fake stereotype
