A conversation between Newfoundland and Canada in 1949.
Canada: Well Newfoundland. I think the time has come to talk about a possible annexation to us.
<u>Newfoundland:</u> Well yes. I guess its about time we got together to discuss some matters regarding this.
<u>Canada:</u> How is your financial situation going?
<u>Newfoundland:</u> We have had better times... we are nearly reaching $ 50 million in debt. I was wondering if you could help me out with this. I promise to manage stuff responsibly from now on.
<u>Canada:</u> That proposal does not suit me at all. I will give you a hand if you agree to join me as a province.
<u>Newfoundland:</u> I guess I have not much of a choice. I agree with your proposal.
<u>Canada:</u> Well. It appears we have a deal then!
