What is responsible government?
Responsible government is the concept that the Sovereign (or the representatives of the Sovereign) can only govern with the support of an elected assembly. In Canada, this means that the prime minister (and the Government of Canada) must enjoy the support of the elected House of Commons to govern. If the House of Commons withdraws its support, then the prime minister must either resign, or ask that there be general elections.

The Prime Minister of Canada is not elected. Generally, when a parliamentary election is held, the party which wins the plurality of seats has their party nominated by the Governor General as the first to have a shot at forming the government. Whatever party happens to form the government generally selects their leader as Prime Minister. Then the Governor General appoints that leader as Prime Minister.

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.

Canada elects individual Members of Parliament (MPs) to sit in the House of Commons via a First Past the Post election in each riding.
