Lobster fisherman experiences Newfoundland humanity at its worst, and best

Say what you want about Newfoundland. All the Newfie jokes aside, they are a wonderful bunch.

Here is a fisherman whose lobster traps were burned by a vandal. As news traveled from one bay to another cove, people chipped in traps, raw material and money to get him back on his feet.

No wonder he says he chokes up when talking about it.

Good for Newfoundland, Canada and restores some faith in humanity.
