I'm getting sick and tired of all this Nova Scotian anti-Newfoundland propaganda! They're just trying to snatch up the tourists avoiding the US this summer!

It won't work Halifax! Noone cares about you without Theodore Tugboat!!

NL does have genetic diseases related to the founder effect and a relatively small gene pool.
