Make no mistake: We Canadians get along.

How did this happen?

If it happens it will be marvellous news for NL. At the moment we are somehow a have province heading rapidly for ruin, bankruptcy and territorial status. Contemplating the current Churchill Falls deal under these circumstance is dangerous for any resident of the province as apoplexy is a clear risk. When I listened to the Quebec side making the announcement I thought I noticed some desire to right a wrong. It also means that HQ get a reliable and enlarging source of clean power to sell to the Americans for the rest of this century.

Newfoundland is not Labrador.

Newfoundland is an island. Labrador is a coast.

I understand the desire of politicians to create the term "Serbia & Montenegro" to describe a political entity.

"Newfoundland & Labrador" is a similar fiction.

Newfoundlanders. No mention of Labrador.

Like most Canadian provinces, NL consists of islands and part of the North American mainland. Labrador is vast. It is coastal but much more than a mere coast.

That sounds Mr. Blanchet on the subject of Canada. In truth, all counties, provinces and countries are arbitrary constructs. We invent them and in time they will disappear.
