Origins of "Brador"
I noticed on a copy of Samuel de Champlain's 1632 map of New France that he labels one section "Terre da la Brador". Does anyone know what "brador" means? Is it a reference to a person, a group of people, or some plant/animal in that region that he recorded? The Labrador article suggests that the name comes from the Spanish explorer Lavrador, but this fails to take into account the use of the French article "la".

time zone

 * Blanc Sablon is the only village where local time coincides with zone time.

What exactly does that even mean? The only one among what set of villages? —Tamfang (talk) 18:37, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Yeah, poor sentence. I think it just means that daylight savings time is not observed there. --  P 1 9 9  ✉ 14:05, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
