Did Newfoundland want to have the confederation?
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.

Why did Newfoundland enter the Confederation?
In the aftermath of World War II, \it was clear that Newfoundland had emerged from the economic crisis that had led to the Commission of Government. Nonetheless, there was disagreement over what form of government should take its place. Some people favoured a return to independent responsible government, while others wished to form a union with Canada. Still others wanted to retain the Commission of Government, and there was even a faction that favoured annexation to the United States. With these circumstances in mind, Britain decreed the formation of a National Convention in Newfoundland, to evaluate the Commission's performance and investigate the possibilities for Newfoundland's future. Forty-five members were elected from across Newfoundland and Labrador; delegates campaigned based on personal popularity and opinions, rather than according to a strict party platform. After several referendums and delegations to London, Washington, and Ottawa, a vote was set in 1949 to decide if Newfoundland would join Canada or stay an independent country. There were several influential business people and politicians who had a vested interest in Newfoundland joining Canada. They lobbied hard for confederation as that would produce enormous personal wealth for them. There were also many influential business interests who campaigned actively against confederation, as did the Catholic Church. In the end the vote produced a razor thin victory for the pro-confederation movement and as a result Canada's 10th province.
