Newsworthiness

On the day after the metaphorical last spike is driven in the Trans-Labrador Highway, allowing, for the first time in history, ground transportation to and from at least the southern Labrador coast by a mode that doesn't involve water, liquid or frozen; a change in transportation patterns which will, in the medium to long run, be as profound for the province as a whole, if not more so, than the construction (and abandonment) of the Newfoundland railway, the establishment of the Gulf ferry, or the construction of the major airports during World War Two; you might think that such an event would merit more than sixty-two unsigned words deep on page A11.

Just sayin'.
