Asked in 2010 about his pugnacious approach to federal-provincial
relations, Newfoundland premier Danny Williams declared "I would
rather live one more day as a lion than ten years a jellyfish." He
was only the latest in a long line of Newfoundland premiers who
have fought for that province's interests on the national stage.
From Joey Smallwood and the conflict over Term 29 of the Act of
Union to Williams and his much-publicized clashes with Paul Martin
and Stephen Harper, Newfoundland and Labrador's politicians have
often expressed a determination to move beyond a legacy of
colonialism and assert greater control over the province's own
affairs. Lions or Jellyfish? examines the history of these
federal-provincial clashes with both clarity and wit. Written by a
noted expert on Newfoundland politics and intergovernmental affairs
in Canada, this book studies a vital but frequently overlooked
aspect of modern Canadian federalism.
