Ooops. J'excuse. I should not have set out the soapbox. I know the only reason a few yahoos want to separate is so that they can sell water to the US in volume. Your points are well made, Steve.

CC... The fact of the matter really is that until yesterday, Labrador had no official recognition. Labrador was simply a term to describe the mainland portion of Newfoundland. Hence "NF & Lab" on the Labrador region on the map. Recall I have mentioned never call a Labradorian a Newf. Now you can't officially.

Re the fact that the PQ's claim jurisdiction in Labrador, when we use to go fishing in PQ (Provence du Quebec (?)), just outside Labrador, we would give our address as Wabush, New Quebec and the fishing license would cost $10 rather than $75 if we said Wabush, Labrador.
