First it was a "steal" to lower Canada (Quebec)<br /><br />LOL<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labrador<br /><br />The border between Labrador and Canada was set March 2, 1927, after a tortuous five-year trial. In 1809 Labrador had been transferred from Lower Canada to Newfoundland, but the landward boundary of Labrador had never been precisely stated.[4] Newfoundland argued it extended to the height of land, but Canada, stressing the historical use of the term "Coasts of Labrador", argued the boundary was 1 statute mile (1.6 km) inland from the high-tide mark. As Canada and Newfoundland were separate countries, but both members of the British Empire, the matter was referred to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council (in London), which set the Labrador boundary mostly along the coastal watershed. One of Newfoundland's conditions for joining Confederation in 1949 was that this boundary be entrenched in the Canadian constitution. While this border has not been formally accepted by the Quebec government, the Henri Dorion [2] Commission (Commission d'étude sur l'intégrité du territoire du Québec) concluded in the early 1970s that Quebec no longer has a legal claim to Labrador. [3] [4] In 2001, Québec Natural Resources Minister and Québec Intergovernmental Affairs Minister reasserted that Québec has never recognised the 1927 border:<br /><br /> "Les ministres rappellent qu'aucun gouvernement québécois n'a reconnu formellement le tracé de la frontière entre le Québec et Terre-Neuve dans la péninsule du Labrador selon l'avis rendu par le comité judiciaire du Conseil privé de Londres en 1927. Pour le Québec, cette frontière n'a donc jamais été définitivement arrêtée.[5]"<br /><br /> (The ministers reiterate that no Quebec government has ever formally recognized the drawing of the border between Quebec and Newfoundland in the Labrador peninsula according to the opinion rendered by the privy council in 1927. For Quebec, this border has thus never been definitively defined.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11333084.post-30730609146531519222010-03-28T16:32:53.445-02:302010-03-28T16:32:53.445-02:30can somebody please respond to Mr A.

The crimes that they have committed still go unpunished to this day because of Ottawa’s “Lack of Spine “<br /><br />It’s very funny though how Quebec is running to a Government that it has embarrassed several times on the world stage. Not including what they have said durng the Copenhagen talks. Charest can talk and bad mouth Albert’s dirty Oil but when it comes down to it’s the seats that Quebec has that make this Conservative Government so committed to warm relations with Charest and his cronies.<br /><br />This in turn is what scares me the most now. With Harper so eager to do everything and anything to get back at Newfoundland and Labrador. If I am exaggerating, why do we have Portuguese boats dragging what remains of our beloved Cod fishery into extinction? Without a word being raised by the animal crackers that are Peta.<br /><br />Its seems that under a Canadian sky anything is possible. Except a free and fair deal for Newfoundland and Labrador. <br /><br />Looking at the Laurention Channel this on this map, I can understand why Newfoundland and Labrador has not agreed to this border claim. <br /><br />http://gsc.nrcan.gc.ca/coast/sealevel/evol/images/qsr_shaw_fig1.jpg<br /><br />Maybe, just maybe this will be the nail in the Confine for Confederation. With so much injustice being done on Quebec’s and Ottawa’s part, it will finally awaken us to just how bad a deal we really got in 1949.<br /><br />Quebec knows of the crime that it has committed. It will defiantly be the elephant in the room for any talks on any future agreement between these two nations.<br /><br /><br /><br />" Republic Of "Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11333084.post-64402280082556188432010-03-23T12:50:13.544-02:302010-03-23T12:50:13.544-02:30"We don't want Old Harry to become paybac..."We don't want Old Harry to become payback for Churchill Falls," said PQ critic Alexandre Cloutier.<br /><br />Interesting that he would choose those words. Quebec has never admitted to doing anything wrong with relation to the Upper Churchill so why would Mr. Cloutier believe there was any reason for "payback" by NL?<br /><br />The truth slips out when people are frustrated I guess.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
