Territorial integrity

Townie nationalist and culture vulture Kevin Noble calls into The Daily Two-Hour Hate today in response to Sue Kelland-Dyer's clarion call for separation in Saturday's Telegram. ("The only way for Newfoundland and Labrador is to find people who have the courage to lead a separatist movement and become the economic powerhouse we can be.")

Challenged by Bill Rowe that maybe Labrador wouldn't be so keen on this whole separatism (from Canada, anyway) thing, Noble responds:

The way I feel about it, you hear that talk, and Labrador has been short-changed over the years, they haven't gotten their fair share, but there' s something about Newfoundland and Labrador that's inseparable, historically, and as a matter of mutual pride, I think that would take quite a jarring.

Canada is divisible, but Newfoundland and Labrador is not divisible.

Now where, oh where, have we heard this type of thing before?

Next up: the Newfoundland nationalists and crypto-separatists will start airing their historic grievances over losing the North Shore, Anticosti, and the Magdalen Islands.
