Newfoundland and Labrador

Bacon Cove, Newfoundland, is believed to have derived its name from the early European settlers who likely referred to the area for its natural resources. The name may be linked to the bacon production from pigs raised in the region or could relate to the practice of curing and preserving meat. Additionally, the cove's picturesque setting and its history of fishing and farming contributed to its identity. The exact origin of the name remains somewhat unclear, but it reflects the local culture and economy of the past.

As of my last update, there were no confirmed plans for a Costco to open in Prince Edward Island. The company often evaluates potential locations based on market demand and demographics, but any developments would be announced officially by Costco. For the most current information, it's best to check local news sources or Costco's official communications.

Yes, Newfoundland has sea otters, but their population is relatively small. They were historically found in the region but were nearly extirpated due to fur trading. Conservation efforts have helped their numbers recover, and they can now be spotted in certain coastal areas of the province. However, they are not as abundant in Newfoundland as in other parts of North America, such as the Pacific Northwest.

People from Newfoundland and Labrador are commonly referred to as "Newfoundlanders" or "Labradorians," depending on which part of the province they are from. Newfoundlanders typically refer to themselves simply as "Newfies," a colloquial term that can be used affectionately. The province has a rich cultural heritage and unique identity, influenced by its history, geography, and communities.

Before gaining independence, Newfoundland was a dominion of the British Empire. It was part of Canada from 1949 after a referendum resulted in a decision to join the Confederation. Prior to that, Newfoundland had been a self-governing colony, but it faced financial difficulties during the Great Depression, leading to the suspension of its government in 1934 and direct British rule until the referendum.
