Did you know that Newfoundland and Labrador were once an independent country in the same manner as Canada was? It's true! It was called the Dominion of Newfoundland and due to a series of unfortunate events, it had to relinquish its independence. In today's video, we cover the vast geography of the province, it's very old history (including Vikings!) and how the country managed to lose its independence when it managed to survive on its own for decades. Oh... and we'll also talk about why Labrador got included in the name upon confederating with Canada.
