Will Newfoundland ever disappear in the ocean because of a tsunami?

No because Newfoundland is not hot enough for any tropical storm, including tsunamis. Newfoundland is in Canada. And Canada is a non tropical country because it is in the northern hemisphere . So it is extremely rare and very unlikely that Canada will ever have a tropical storm like hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis. And no tsunami will be ever big enough to sink the whole island of Newfoundland.

Boston has not experienced a significant tsunami in recent history. The last notable tsunami event in the broader region occurred on July 4, 1929, when a tsunami generated by an underwater landslide off the coast of Newfoundland affected parts of the northeastern U.S., but Boston was not severely impacted. Tsunamis are relatively rare in the Atlantic Ocean compared to the Pacific.
