	Newfoundland, Canada
		Labrador, the peninsula called by Jacques Cartier "the land that God gave Cain", is bordered on the west and south by the Province of Québec and is 1046 km (650 mi.) north to south and 724 km (450 mi.) east to west.
		Newfoundland's island climate is characterised by the fogs which occur all year round, caused in summer by the cold air from the Labrador current meeting the warmer air from the landmass, with the process reversed in winter.
		Newfoundland is unusual for Canada in having a very homogenous population: 99 per cent of the "Newfies" are English-speaking and more than 95 per cent were born on the island.

	Labrador travel guide - Wikitravel
		Labrador is 'The Big Land'--the mainland portion of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.
		Labrador is home to the largest herds of Caribou in the world, and is teeming with the kind of abundant wildlife often associated with the northern portion of Canada.
		In many ways, the relationship between Labrador and its historical 'parent,' Newfoundland, has been a microcosm of the relationship between the province of Newfoundland and Labrador and the government of Canada--Labrador often feels ignored and exploited by the island government in Newfoundland.

	Premier's address on Churchill Falls to the Empire Club, Toronto
		Newfoundland and Labrador has received benefits that averaged $23 million a year.
		The Churchill Falls agreement must be re-negotiated because it has yielded unconscionably large benefits for Quebec and unconscionably small benefits for Newfoundland and Labrador.
		That is because the major benefits to Newfoundland and Labrador are dividends from CF(L)Co. But, beginning in 2002, CF(L)Co will have to forego the payment of dividends in some years and pay reduced dividends in most others.

	Newfoundland and Labrador Direction on Lower Churchill
		Newfoundland and Labrador would be foolhardy to consider wheeling Lower Churchill power across Quebec in future.
		The reality of an independent Quebec is also a reality where Newfoundland and Labrador is essentially cut off from Canada geographically and is reliant on the whims and wishes of a foreign power to market its resources.
		As a side note, it might also be in Newfoundland and Labrador’s best interest to ensure that the ever changing Labrador border, which inexplicably continues to move further and further east on Quebec tourist maps, isn’t taken too seriously by anyone down the road, but I digress.
