If Nfld refuses to join Canada in 1949, can she continue on as a crown colony? If so, what happens when its vast ocean oil reserves are discovered? What happens to Labrador and Quebec's claims?
What happens to Labrador if Newfoundland remains independent?
I assume that most of the people in this thread actually mean "Newfoundland and Labrador" when they say Newfoundland - it's hard to imagine it, I dunno, getting annexed by Quebec or something. And it's certainly not viable as an independent territory.
Quebec would want all of Labrador's interior. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labrador#Boundary_disputeI assume that most of the people in this thread actually mean "Newfoundland and Labrador" when they say Newfoundland - it's hard to imagine it, I dunno, getting annexed by Quebec or something.

Well, its fate would have an eventual impact on what happens I imagine. Did one half of Newfoundland and Labrador support one cause more than the other?
No one lived in Labrador.
I mean, not no one, but...over 90% of the population has always lived on Newfoundland, with much/most of the Labrador population being natives.
Err, why? As I understood it the Dominion of Newfoundland included Labrador even if it wasn't in the name, why would it be 'the only possible alternative' to automatically seize and attached to Quebec rather than it just staying with Newfoundland as it already was?Adding Labrador to Quebec is the only possible alternative I see if Newfoundland remain outside Confederation.
