Lions or Jellyfish: Newfoundland-Ottawa Relations since 1957

‘Lions and Jellyfish, a trenchant, gripping, and revealing study… Raymond Blake’s book is one that should be read by all who wish to understand eight of the most important events in the history of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador.’

Robert Edwards, Newfoundland and Labrador Quarterly vol 108:04:2016

‘Lions or Jellyfish is a polished investigation of the often-strained relationship between Ottawa and Newfoundland and Labrador…. Raymond Blake brings sophisticated analysis and a well- constructed narrative.’

Canadian Historical Society Bulletin vol 42:02:2016

“Lions or Jellyfish is an interesting, well-researched, and thorough study of executive federalism and the relations between political leaders in Ottawa and St. John’s since 1957. This is one of the best books I have read in Newfoundland history in many years.”

David MacKenzie, Department of History, Ryerson University

“Well-written and engaging, Lions or Jellyfish makes a significant contribution both to Atlantic Canadian history and to the study of intergovernmental relations in Canada.”
