The challenge is the creation of a 'Fenian' Newfoundland in the 19th century. Open-ended POD. The Fenians can be the American proxy kind, a concentration or Irish-born nationalists, a concentration of radicalised Irish-Canadians, or some mixture thereof. OTL, most Irish-Canadians felt antagonised by the American-based Fenians, so became the opposite of radicalised and more supportive of Canada. Why Newfoundland and not some part of Canada? Because of Newfoundland's ethnic demographics, I expect you could create a longer lasting state if you could radicalise the local population, rather than the hostage state the American Fenians were thinking of creating in Canada.
