  • The capital city of Newfoundland and Labrador is most emphatically NOT "Saint Johns." It is St. John's. This is important, as there is in fact a Saint Johns in New Brunswick, and it is not unknown for travellers to go to one place instead of the other--and there are a few thousand kms and a body of water between the 2 cities. It is correct above, but not on the city co-ordinates under Newfoundland and Labrador.
  • I to am outraged at the inaccurate designation.
  • Well, of course, the one in New Brunswick isn't Saint Johns either, it's Saint John.
