I'm Canadian, and Newfoundland still sucks fat ass. Newfoundland is one of the shittiest provinces. If it weren't for Quebec, Nunavut, and P.E.I, it WOULD be the worst province. Are you fucking retarded? Why not get Alberta or something?

Fuck off, Newfoundland does not suck! We're called the nicest people around, we get more tourists than any other province cause this place is gorgeous, we drink better than anyone else AND we're safer than any other province so maybe you're the retarded one.

None of the provinces of Canada get to decide how to spend their money. The U.S. and Canada have a lot in common and are very connected. But any Canadian province, if join the U.S., would have the right to decide how to spend their money. And Newfoundland... or Newfoundland and Labrador... is another example. Hawaii is economically strong; Newfoundland and Labrador as a U.S. state would be entirely local and economically strong by comparison. With absolutely no loss of freedom rights as a result of joining the U.S., the only results they would expect to see would be more rights in deciding how to spend their money as a U.S. state. And by the way- if they do join the U.S., then soon after, traveling by car and cargo shipping by semi from mainland Labrador to Newfoundland and back would no longer be hopeless. Because in the U.S., such a reliable underwater tunnel would certainly be built. For example: a 23-mile-long fixed link was built to link mainland Virginia with Northampton County, VA across The Chesapeake Bay, despite the fact people could just drive around the bay. Another example of a long fixed link that is not the only option for driving from one side to the other is the 24-mile-long Lake Pontchartrain Causeway in Louisiana. People could drive around the lake completely. Crossing the bridge would not even reduce the driving distance by 50%. And there's a toll price. By comparison, the Newfoundland-Labrador Fixed Link would be so reliable, constructing it would be inevitable if Newfoundland and Labrador were a U.S. state.

I hope any Canadian province joins the U.S. The U.S. was given the chance to annex British Columbia to the U.S. in Canada's offer after the Alaskan Purchase, fearing the U.S. would invade British Columbia because British Columbia was surrounded o two sides by 2 U.S. States. The U.S. put the chance aside and lost it. Canadian separatists propose Alberta and Quebec joining the U.S. as states. Another proposal is Ontario becoming a U.S. state because they sat Ontario holds the largest sub-sovereign state debt in the world and it would help Ontario if Ontario becomes a U.S. state. There is even a proposal that all of Canada join the U.S. for economic reasons. Also because of the outstanding political similarities they share, relations between the two are also outstanding enough to consider Canada join the U.S.. Free trade would be another significant benefit Canada would have if they join the U.S. But the largest benefit beside economic help from the U.S. would be that the Canadian provinces if join the U.S. would have the right to decide how to spend their money. The money would no longer be snatched by their government. Because that government would be the government of the United States of America. With President Trump already making America itself great again with benefits every Canadian province could use and could receive if join the U.S. Benefits such as more jobs, an increase in housing development and better infrastructure. My statement would be- "Canada, this is an opportunity you don't want to miss or can't afford to miss." Not as in a difference of not collapsing, but as in a way to benefit like never before. Benefits you (provinces) will never receive on your own, due to economic laws your government allows. Economic laws you won't have once if you join the U.S. I don't do marijuana, but another role of benefiting from the right to decide how to spend your money, would be the amounts in profits of recreational marijuana shops. A large business, very good profit ($US billions every year) and this time, you (Canadian provinces) as U.S. states, get to decide how to spend what you profit. As U.S. states, you also would receive not just financial help and financial spending rights, but you would also receive help in greater development of your cities, expand your cities, increase your populations, thus bringing more rich people who seek to open their businesses in your cities, increase and expand your economy and become larger, more successful. But that all depends on if you join the U.S. And that's your decision to secede and join the U.S., not the government's decision. You have that option to make all that difference for your province, your economy and for your people. What are your goals? What option do you have to achieve those goals? Why not complete the step that is key for you to begin achieving that goal? Who is to stop you? NOBODY! You are more than welcome to join the U.S. and we are more than willing to help rebuild your economy and let you decide how to spend your money. In fact- that's the law. The American law. So join the U.S. and as a U.S. state, you will get your share of those rights and that help.

Absolutely 100%. The U.S. would help Newfoundland's economy skyrocket compared to its current economy. The population, as well as development, including its infrastructure would also increase. Newfoundland would even have more rights, including economic rights. Newfoundland would benefit way better as a U.S. State than as a Canadian Province. In the biggest problems and challenges Newfoundland is dealing with, U.S. Statehood is their only alternative. And the 50 States would gladly join in welcoming Newfoundland to the Union as the new State.
