No problem Barry.
One of the topics brought up on the program (Turning Points of History...) was the fact that Newfoundland never recovered after the First War due to the fact that Britain refused to dismiss any debt that they had accrued during the war and then the depression afterwards. They ended up losing their self-government to the Brisish for a time and then in 1949 had a referendum to leave as a British colony and join the Dominion of Canada. This was a less than ideal situation for them but in the end, joining Canada was the lesser of two evils so to speak...
Bottom line, the Newfs deserve a lot of credit for their heroism, sprit and determination in the face of adversary and I for one am proud to call them brothers.
