All relative, innit?
Rather a strange semi-editorial throwaway comment in a CBC news report today:
A winter ferry will connect Corner Brook to southern Labrador for the first time as part of a pilot project.
According to a government news release, the province will spend $1.5 million to fund a twice-weekly ferry service between Corner Brook — on Newfoundland's west coast — to Blanc-Sablon, a tiny Quebec port that borders southern Labrador.
Population of Blanc-Sablon: 1263
Population of St. Barbe, the regular Newfoundland port for the Strait of Belle Isle ferry service: 84

Isn't Blanc-Sablon also the main landing strip for southern Labrador? It was when I was younger.
Why does the ferry go to Quebec anyway? I know it's only a difference of hundreds of metres but I've wondered why not have the boat to go to Labrador.
