Today a Spanish trawler sank in 18 minutes 400 kilometers off of the coast of Canada with 22 crew on board...

Well, Newfoundland was the last province to join Canada in 1949.
Newfoundland is also the oldest settlement in North America.
Newfoundlanders basically fish for a living in the Atlantic and times have been tough for a long while.
But now times are changing because of huge nickel finds and offshore oil.
They deserve it! :P
