{"product_id":"lions-or-jellyfish-raymond-b-blake-9781442628304","title":"Lions or Jellyfish: Newfoundland-Ottawa Relations since 1957","description":"\u003cp\u003eAsked 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLions or Jellyfish?\u003c\/em\u003e examines the history of these federal-provincial clashes with both clarity and wit.
