I did work in Fort Mac a couple of years ago and we had a couple of guys from Newfoundland doing some work for us. My boss met up with them with questions - they had a discussion between themselves, my boss could not understand a word they said, turned to him and spoke perfectly fine. They knew he wouldn't understand them, but everyone laughed about it....Like the English, there's the cockney for the north, proper in the south...the east and the west...plus everything in between.
