New-found Hope
Bonavista. Newfoundland.
Two odd sea-going structures were off the coast of Newfoundland this week. One recalled a distant past: a replica of the caravel Matthew in which John Cabot sailed from Bristol to — so he hoped — the Indies in 1497. After eight storm-beaten weeks, today's crew of 18 reached his (claimed) landfall of Bonavista on June 24th, to be greeted by Queen Elizabeth, on a ten-day visit to the country of which the is still head of state. The one that mattered was uglier and bigger: 600,000 tonnes of oil rig, heading for the Grand Banks, propelled by six tugs and a C$1 billion ($750m) federal government grant and more in loan guarantees. By Christmas, oil should be flowing, and within five years two more offshore oil projects should follow.
Is this a new start for Newfoundland? Unemployment there has hit 20% since its cod fishery — Cabot reported the waters «teeming» — all but collapsed. The population, now about 550,000, has been falling for years, as young people go to Toronto for excitement and jobs.
The oil will pour money into the provincial government's coffers. So will a huge discovery of nickel at Voisey Bay in Labrador, the bigger, but largely wilderness, mainland part of the province. Its combative premier, Brian Tobin — federal fisheries minister during the Spanish «turbot war» — sees many millions more in the renegotiation with Quebec of a 1969 hydroelectric contract, whereby that province buys power from Labrador dirt-cheap and makes C$600m a year selling it on to New England.
The issue will be to turn official money into jobs: neither oil nor nicke will generate many directly. Beyond that lies a wider issue. The Matthew will attract tourists as it circles Newfoundland island, visiting 17 ports. Most of Canada's top academics flew in for the annual gathering of learned societies. A theatre festival has brought playwrights from afar. But how, long-term, is this distinctive province (it gave up British colonial status to join Canada only in 1949) to prosper, hundreds of miles from the heart of the country — or anywhere much else? It is not only the far west and Quebec that raise problems for Canada.
