What was the Newfoundland separatism?
What is Newfoundland separatism because it is still active.
It is a response to Newfoundlands lack of success in Canada. They traded a coastline that extended to Ungava Bay, and control of their fishing industry and their oil industry to Canada. In exchange Canada takes a lot of money from Newfoundland in many ways. They give lots back in the form of various welfare programs but those numbers are often very close. They also lost their fishing industry, which was a major part of their culture.
Toss in the loss of their oil wealth and Newfoundland Separatism makes a lot of sense.
