I could see Labrador as a territory, but not both Labrador and Newfoundland. If anything, Labrador should split from Newfoundland and be it's own territory or province.
Problem is, no one takes either seriously. Most of Canada sees how Newfoundland runs itself and laughs. Most Newfies end up going elsewhere in Canada for prosperity. I used to work with a crew of Newfies, and most of them (while being proud Newfoundlanders) often complained about how 'The Rock' is run and how people across Canada view them.
Most of the Newfies I've encountered are hard working and jovial. But, like a lot of Canadians, I just shrug when someone mentions Newfoundland because it always seems to be the world's biggest gong show out there.

Many Newfoundlanders (not Newfies, Jaysus B’y!) don’t leave and there’s plenty to laugh at in the way Canada is run elsewhere too. The province would look more like others in the rest of the country if it had a big city. It’s basically the same as any other part of outback Canada with many of the same problems. In its favour, it’s the friendliest place this immigrant has ever lived in. If I do have to depart for ‘Upalong’ or back to Europe, I will always miss it.
