A conversation with the people of Newfoundland and Labrador about the future of Canada’s most distinct province.
Pessimism is a feature, not a bug, in the psyche of a province that has endured centuries of economic boom-and-bust cycles. As the shadows of Muskrat Falls loom large and the youth look toward the mainland for opportunity, we check in on the pulse of the island.
Through the lenses of photographers Bojan Fürst and the words of Drew Brown, we explore whether the "Rock" remains a place to build a life, or merely a place to leave behind.
This longform feature examines the social fabric of contemporary Newfoundland, from the living rooms of St. John's to the rugged terrain of Labrador.
