Commentary

En 1497, l’explorateur Jean Cabot prit possesion de Terre-Neuve au nom de la Couronne d’Angleterre. La colonie reçut le statut de dominion en 1907 en même temps que le Nouvelle-Zélande. Ce n’est qu’en 1949 suite à un référendum que Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador rejoignit la confédération canadienne..
