What did Newfoundland say to the 72 resolutions?

Final answer:

Newfoundland did not respond to the 72 resolutions because they were not part of Canada at the time; they joined Canada in 1949 due to different factors. References to political figures and parties relate to other Canadian historical events, not to Newfoundland's Confederal history.

Step-by-step explanation:

When addressing Newfoundland's response to the 72 resolutions, we are delving into a historical context concerning Canadian Confederation. Newfoundland, which did not join Canada until 1949, did not directly respond to the 72 resolutions from the 1864 Quebec Conference that laid the groundwork for the creation of Canada.

The province's later decision to join Confederation was a result of its own set of circumstances, including economic pressures and political changes following World War II.

The reference to resolutions within the context of the Liberal Party and the mentioned personalities such as Premier Duff Roblin and activists like Nellie McClung pertain to different historical events - notably the fight for women's suffrage and political reforms in Canada. The Avalon Project also mentioned provides historical documents, which in this case, relate to the American Revolution and not Newfoundland's political history.

Therefore, Newfoundland's response to the 72 resolutions is not historically recorded as they were not part of the initial formation of Canada when those resolutions were passed.
