We're PC but we still have Newfie jokes, also Quebec jokes. Newfie jokes used to be akin to the Polish jokes in the States and Irish jokes in England. As Colin mentioned, "they are Canadian whether they like it or not" is due to the fact that they joined the Confederation in 1947 before that they were a very independant British colony.
