Skraelings, that's why. Plus the climate got colder and the colony could no longer sustain itself.

The word discover does not make any sense. Were there not people already living in Newfoundland before the Europeans arrived?A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.Comment

Newfoundland is actually a Province of Canada. Not Independant and makes for the laughter of the whole country. Wortless but still says its viable as an independant country.Originally posted by MrFun
Maybe he means Newfoundland IS an independent country, but its economy does not add up to much?
Which he claims will be the same with Greenland now??

So when a country enacts a new Constitution, it should get the approval of all its provinces? After all, they're not just affecting those who live in the federal capitol, but also those in the rest of the country.Originally posted by Imran Siddiqui
Actually it hasn't. It says that if Quebec's referendum passed, Canada has to consider it. HOWEVER, the rest of Canada must hold a referendum whether Quebec should be allowed to leave, and if that fails, then Quebec cannot seceed. After all, it isn't just affecting itself by leaving.

Um... you don't think that when a country gets a new Constitution it should get all administrative parts under it to agree?
Or did you mean when a province enacts a new Constitution? In that case, no, they don't. Because the effect on other provinces in a country is minimal, at best. While secession would change the entire country in many different ways and have substantial effects on commerce, politics, etc, etc, of the entire state, tearing it asunder and breaking the 'contract'.
If you can't see the difference, you are more blind than I thought possible.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Places that should gain independence: Nunavut, Greenland, Faroe, Gotland, Quebec, maybe Bornholm and Tasmania. Nunavut and Greenland can unite. It would be cool if they joined the US and Inuktitut or whatever became a required course all over the country starting with elementary school. Labrador should be a province or territory independent from Newfoundland. Michigan should be two states. New England should be one state. New England's official language should be Klingon, Quenya, or Volapuk.Comment
