Newfie boy, Newfie girl

First up, more press for CBC miniseries "Diamonds" (which I think may have already aired, so sorry for the delay, but honestly, you weren't going to watch it anyways). In the last post we had a quote from lead actor Joanne Kelly - here actor Benjamin Ayres refers to her as a Newfie, and a few other things on canada.com (CanWest News Service):

"If she wasn't as cool as she was, it could have been difficult, but she's a Newfie, she's one of the boys."

And from the Toronto Sun, columnist Mike Stroebel takes a look at a new reality show: something about hot girls, inner beauty, $50000, etc. In the course of his musings he asks his "favourite busker, Tagalong Paul" about his "ladyfriend":

"Newfie girl," says Paul. "I love 'em. They make me laugh, the way they talk. So down-to-earth."
