Показать описание
The easternmost province of Canada is made up of the island of Newfoundland and the continental region of Labrador. Divided by the 20km wide Strait of Belle Isle, how is this province made up of 2 separate regions, why did it only join Canada in 1949 and what is being done to connect Newfoundland with Labrador?

Didn't expect this video to suddenly get so many views; I guess Youtube works in mysterious ways! If you're new to the channel, I make geography videos on various topics including a series where I explain every county in Ireland. I'd really appreciate if you'd subscribe to help the channel grow. Thanks for watching!

1:45 "Today, St. John's International Airport is the busiest in the province". Says this whilst showing a picture of an empty airport.

You missed one thing we in Labrador are super proud of, we do infact still have a rail line, it’s the only one still operating in the province and is recognized as Canada’s 3rd independent line, the QNS&L rail company

Great video and nice summary of the province! In case you were wondering, the main reason for Labrador being paired with Newfoundland is that after the Seven Years' War, Newfoundland was awarded the "Coast of Labrador" as it was an important part of the Newfoundland fishery. The inland border was in dispute with Quebec until 1927 when a court ruled in favour of the borders that are in place today.

I live in Newfoundland but I've never been to labrador. Yet I'm a resident of Newfoundland and Labrador. Figure that one out. (I really wanna go someday)

Being from Ireland I'm surprised you didn't speak more to the dominate Irish culture and heritage here in Newfoundland. Though it is far more traditional then contemporary Ireland, the dialect spoken here is similar to older forms of Irish dialect.

Large numbers of Newfoundland fishermen would go to fish in Labrador in the summer, it was essentially a summer work camp. Some of my ancestors lived in the island portion of Newfoundland and would go to Labrador in the summers to fish and process the catch.

Great stuff! Thanks. Had to laugh, though. Just last week I started writing a script on Newfoundland and why it isn’t an independent country, but instead went from British Dominion to Canadian province. Such an interesting case. Might have to put it on hold now. :-)

Great video! Could you please make a video focusing and comparing the economy and industries of Atlantic provinces (Newfoundland, NS, NB, PEI). Like the job market, averages salaries, cost of living etc. Thank you!

The name of the province was changed by constitutional amendment in 2001 as recognized by the federal government of Canada in 2001, but the official name of the province was changed by the province itself in 1964.
