Where are you from, Fenian? Go to Newfoundland!!!! Nobody ever regrets it!

When Kevin Spacey was there to film "The Shipping News" he had four bodyguards with him. When he realized nobody thought he was anything special because he was an actor (most Newfs are quite dramatic and artistic), he ended up sending two of them home. He loved it there, too. He talked us up on Leno and Letterman.

Newfoundland rocks!

The title of my thread is one of the lines from our anthem - the only province in Canada with an anthem.

Ode to Newfoundland
Words and music by Sir Cavendish Boyle

When Sunrays crown thy pine clad hills
And Summer spreads her hand
When silvern voices tune thy rills
We love thee smiling land
We love thee, we love thee
We love thee, smiling land.

When spreads thy cloak of shimm'ring white
At Winter's stern command
Thro' shortened day and starlit night
We love thee, frozen land
We love thee, we love thee
We love thee, frozen land.

When blinding storm gusts fret thy shore
And wild waves lash thy strand
Thro' spindrift swirl and tempest roar
We love thee, wind-swept land
We love thee, we love thee
We love thee, wind-swept land.

As loved our fathers, so we love
Where once they stood we stand
Their prayer we raise to heav'n above
God guard thee, Newfoundland
God guard thee, God guard thee
God guard thee, Newfoundland.
