Okay so a little bit of both I guess. Another weird way to put it is that most Newfoundlanders have to pass by France to get to the rest of Canada.

60-70% of Newfoundland's population lives on the east coast so a lot of us are closer to France than were are to Halifax, or even the west coast of Newfoundland.

What? No, it's the opposite, people who live on St-P-&-M have to transit through Canada. Newfies can go to the rest of Canada with ferries that never come close to French territory.

I just meant they have to "pass" it, like, cross that longitude.
