In this week's Independent, editor Ryan Cleary writes about the mainland view of Premier Danny as superhero, and on the possible effect of high fuel prices on rural and suburban Newfoundland. He uses "newfie" twice in the article: first quoting Sean McCann elsewhere in the edition (not online yet), and then possibly to imply that the newfies are the ones who don't stay.
As Séan McCann of Great Big Sea says (see page 17), we'll be fine once we "get rid of all the newfies."
We're almost there. So many newfies moved to Ontario years ago which, come to think of it, may explain that province’s impending have-not status.
