I have no ties to Newfoundland, but I absolutely love their unique phrases. Looks pretty nice too.

I see you cropped out the huge bank that was in the original picture. Good thinking, the last time everyone complained about the building being ugly.

It is literally right there in the image on the right side of the screen. I didn't crop anything.

My guy edited it out of their own vision it's so ugly

No big fluffy dogs, very disappointing.

And as someone from Newfoundland, trust me. We're just as disappointed that everyone keeps going "OH you mean the dog? :)" whenever we talk about us or our home.

Would it be better or worse if the most popular large breed in the world were not erroneously referred to as a "Labrador" retriever?

Also, hello cousin. I've never been within a thousand kilometers of Newfoundland -- Boston or Montreal is as close as I got -- but I found out as as a grown-ass, gator-swimmin', boild-pnut-eatin' Florida-man that my biological grandmother was born and raised in Clarenville. Apparently, I have relatives from Moncton to St. John's to Toronto to Fort McMurry to Vancouver, and damn near every single one of them is mortified that that Granny's boy had a one night stand in the '70s. 🤣
