Border between Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador
- ... that on Quebec's maps, the land border with Newfoundland and Labrador must have a separate symbol in the map's legend from other interprovincial boundaries? Source: (in French, p. 35), quote: "Le territoire du Labrador doit apparaître [...] Sa frontière doit être composée d’un symbole différent des autres frontières interprovinciales et internationales du Québec qui seront libellées et illustrées de la façon suivante sur les cartes et dans la légende :"; translated: "The territory of Labrador must appear... Its border should be signed by a different symbol from other interprovincial and international boundaries of Quebec, which are to be labeled and illustrated on the maps and in the legend in the following way:..."
- ALT1:... that in the legal sense, according to the 1927 decision of the Privy Council delimiting the border between Quebec and Newfoundland, the word "coast" also includes the drainage basin? Source: [1]; quote: "Evidence on jurisdiction on the part of Newfoundland in the years following 1763 showed that the annexation of the 'coast' had always been understood and treated as including the whole area lying between the sea and the watershed".
- ALT2:... that René Lévesque, a sovereigntist politician in Quebec, referred to the 1927 Privy Council decision defining the border between Quebec and Newfoundland as a "judicial theft"? Source: Interview with Lévesque, 1968; quote: "...le droit du Québec sur Labrador, c'est-à-dire de... que... à la réparation du vol judiciare que... qui a été perpetrée... [il y a] une quarantaine d'années [mais ce reste] un vol quand même..." (0:22-0:30). From my imperfect comprehension of French (fragments about which I'm not sure are in brackets), that would be: "the right of Quebec to Labrador, that is... that... to the rectifying of the judicial theft that... that was perpetrated... about forty years ago but it stays a theft nevertheless..."

- Comment: I'm not too proficient in French, so maybe I've deciphered Lévesque not ideally, but I hope I've preserved the sense of his monologue pretty well. The hook's choice is up to you.

This interesting and impressive article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline and any of the hooks could be used, but I prefer ALT1 and ALT2. The article is neutral, and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:53, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
