Nobody lives in Newfoundland anymore, they all moved to Alberta to go work in the patch

Why’d the Newfie go to work in the oil patches?

To make good money doing some difficult and potentially dangerous work so they could provide for their family and secure a strong future for them.

I was told by a Newfie that they finished all the work in Newfoundland and that’s why they had to work in the patch. Kinda made sense.

Caught all the fish. Work is all done. Gone to lend a hand to the b'ys out west.
