Labrador Flag

 

The flag of Labrador up top and Newfoundland and Labrador below.  This image is from Justin Barbour's video when he trekked across Labrador towards the Quebec border.  

To clarify Labrador is a part of the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador.  Newfoundland is the island that looks like its pinky is sticking out, while Labrador is the eastern coastline of continental Canada.  Perhaps someday when there is population explosion in Labrador, it could become the 14th province or territory of Canada. 

And yes, Labrador dogs get their name from this region.  They were bred mostly in Newfoundland, so a better name would be Newfoundland Retriever?  Nonetheless, the beloved and loyal Canadian dog from Labrador has captured the hearts of many Americans, American than live in the suburbs.  In contrast, Americans that live in an urban atmosphere typically have a love affair with the Pitt Bull.  

Funny thing is that there are more Labrador Retrievers than there are people in Labrador.  Labrador is certainly off radar of people in the US.     

The Labrador flag is an uneven horizontal tribar of white, green, and sky blue.
