Distinct society
News For You 
I felt disappointed to see a letter last week indicating someone had disrespectful comments directed her way as a Newfoundlander.
I must add that having travelled to Newfoundland 25-30 times in my career, I always enjoyed the “Newfies” and found them a honest, caring and hard working people.
I’ve often commented to others that I never met a Newfoundlander I didn’t like and in my opinion, they are the only truly “distinct society” in the nation.
I trust that any derogatory comments are of an isolated nature and not the general feeling of merchants in the area.
