Newfoundland had two separate referendums on joining Canada. In 1948, there were 3 options on the referendum: 1. Responsible Government - 44.6%
2. Confederation with Canada - 41.1%
3. Commission of Government - 14.3% Since there was no clear majority and the third option was an outlier it was removed from the ballot and a re-vote was commenced on July 22, 1948: 1. Confederation with Canada - 52.3%
2. Responsible Government - 47.7% This has been a debate amongst many Newfoundlanders that a majority of citizens did not actually want a confederation with Canada due to losing the first referendum, and that the majority vote was won by rural swing votes.
