Don't feel bad about milking newfoundland's resources if you want to feel bad apologize to Alberta.
Regardless I don't get how the watersheds isn't exactly the perfect way to draw up borders in an unpopulated contested territory.
And yes that is exactly what I would of done in Western Canada, instead of some imaginary crooked line.
The argument that you've pinched off our access to the rest of the continent isn't really helping your case either.
It's actually my single biggest gripe with Quebec/BC/Whatever.
IF you want transfer payments you shouldn't be able to obstruct another provinces economy.

If I had my way those resources would just sit there. It never gave newfoundland any economic benefit.
The large scale government run energy schemes is the primary reason I plan never to return to Newfoundland.
As far as I'm concerned these socialist schemes ruined my homeland.
