I can tell you that there are still many newfie jokes going around here :) I've read that in Newfoundland, they have started a debate on should they keep the "newfie" term of change it. Some say that it has too much a negative image in the rest of Canada :)

>Yeah, some of your compadres told a few jokes at DevCon a couple of years ago and explained that. Hopefully, it is not taken offensively the way it would in this country. We no longer can express our sense of humor in the USA. If we do, the jokes have to be sanitized. About the only unprotected groups in the USA are Lawyers and Aggies [graduates or supporters of Texas A&M University].
