Five years already

His Dear Parting Words, though only a handful knew it at the time:

PREMIER WILLIAMS: Oh, if I may?
The Cupids celebrations, 400th Anniversary celebrations - I want to make sure everybody has a great summer and you spend time in your districts and get a chance to get around the Province, but this is a very special celebration. This is the oldest English colony in North America. It is equivalent, in my opinion, to the Quebec City celebrations that were held just two years ago or a year ago. Get out there, it is in the middle of August. Make sure you spend some time out there, but it is really worthwhile being there and being part of it. I know, Roland, I am going to see you out there. So we will see you there and at the Blueberry Festival. 
Take care.

The new battlemap

Because, for some reason, the most open and transparent government EVAR can't bring itself to do any such thing, nor even make the underlying data available for public download, here's a zoomable map of the 36 new electoral district in Newfoundland.

Zoom in to see detail at the local level in your community or neighbourhood.

Apologies for the lack of district labels.
