Proximity

As per the headline — Russian planes intercepted near N.L. — on this story, herewith, for the benefit of the CBC, a list of some other places that are "near N.L.":

• Rimouski, Forestville, and the entire Gaspésie region, Quebec.
• Campbellton, Bathurst, Caraquet, Tracadie, and Moncton, New Brunswick.
• Most of Nova scotia and all of PEI and the Magdalen Islands
• Kangiqsujuaq, Quebec, and Iqaluit, Nunavut, along with most of the Nunavik region and large swaths of Baffin Island.

But, hey, "Russian planes intercepted in international airspace nearer to Greenland than to Labrador or any other part of Canada" doesn't have quite the same oomph, does it?
