Two questions for Brian Dobbin

1. What "territory" did "we" ever lose?

2. What "island of 500,000 people" are you talking about.

Thank you.

One for the memory book:

“There has been some stupid, silly, foolish talk that Labrador is not, or should not, be a part of Newfoundland. There are 500,000 Newfoundlanders who will see to it that every square inch of Labrador remains part of Newfoundland. We do not intend to part with even one-half of one square inch of Labrador.

The only Labrador soil that will be lost to Newfoundland is the Labrador earth that may accumulate under the fingernails of visitors to Labrador who may carry it away with them when they leave…”

Smallwood, Letter to the Northern Light, August 27 1964
