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.
