The Government Game

the anthem to the governments best attempt to rob our great province of its heart and soul in the 60s. Its more important that our youth learn and be aware of this than the collective of all they are taught in school from kindergarten til they recieve their grade 12 diploma. The pictures are some taken from the mun websites article on resettlement, they are of Merasheen, the rest are my own and of Isle Valen, Bar Haven, and Woody Island, Placentia Bay. Theres not enough of this kinda stuff up here so I'm making an effort to change that

I know it's terrible to talk about a dead man, but Joey Smallwood was a fool. Set Newfoundland back a hundred years.

@phatdeej - you should probably understand the facts in what happened before you make a remark like that

newfoundlanders would not have communism but do not want to change their ways in the name of capaitalism either... perhaps we should have had a young castro take us over to, would that have been better?

it's been ages since I heard this song... We used to sing this song in the traditional Irish way of gathering for drink, in the great town of Placentia, where my forebears took part in the government game.
