Ashuanipi
The Territory of Ashuanipi (french: Territoire d'Ashuanipi) was a formerly disputed area and territory of Quebec that was claimed by Quebec and the Dominion of Newfoundland from 1899 and 1927. Ashuanipi was first devised under the territorial claims of the ''Quebec Boundary Extension Act, 1898'', and then subdivided under the 1899 ''An Act respecting the territories of Abittibi, Mistassini and Ashuanipi''. The territory would be effectively annulled after a 1927 ruling by the Privy Council of Canada defining the border between Newfoundland and Quebec, but Quebec continues to recognize the region as a territory of Quebec in the ''Territorial Division Act''. Description The territory of Ashuanipi was defined under the terms of ''An Act respecting the territories of Abittibi, Mistassini and Ashuanipi'' (french: Loi concernant les territoires d'Abittibi, de Mistassini et d'Ashuanipi) of 1899. Article 2.3 of the act read: "The territory of Ashuanipi is bounded to the north, to the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The division between Labrador and Quebec has changed over time. Labrador's coast was recognized to be part of Newfoundland (with a small break) since 1763, but the legal meaning of the word " ...

Geography Of Quebec
Located in the Eastern Canada, eastern part of Canada, and (from a historical and political perspective) part of Central Canada, Quebec occupies a territory nearly three times the size of France or Texas, and is much closer to the size of Alaska. As is the case with Alaska, most of the land in Quebec is very sparsely populated. Its topography is very different from one region to another due to the varying composition of the ground, the climate (latitude and altitude), and the proximity to water. The Great Lakes–St. Lawrence Lowlands and the Appalachian Mountains, Appalachians are the two main topographic regions in southern Quebec, while the Canadian Shield occupies most of central and northern Quebec. With an area of , it is the List of Canadian provinces and territories by area, second largest of Canada's provinces and territories and the List of country subdivisions by area, tenth largest country subdivision in the world.

Territorial Disputes Of Canada
A territory is an area of land, sea, or space, particularly belonging or connected to a country, person, or animal. In international politics, a territory is usually either the total area from which a state may extract power resources or an administrative division is usually an area that is under the jurisdiction of a sovereign state. As a subdivision a territory is in most countries an organized division of an area that is controlled by a country but is not formally developed into, or incorporated into, a political unit of the country that is of equal status to other political units that may often be referred to by words such as "provinces" or "regions" or "states". In its narrower sense, it is "a geographic region, such as a colonial possession, that is dependent on an external government." Etymology The origins of the word "territory" begin with the Proto-Indo-European root ''ters'' ('to dry'). From this emerged the Latin word ''terra'' ('earth, land') and later the La ...

52nd Parallel North
The 52nd parallel north is a circle of latitude that is 52 degrees north of the Earth's equatorial plane. It crosses Europe, Asia, the Pacific Ocean, North America, and the Atlantic Ocean. In Canada, part of the legally defined border between Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador is defined by the parallel, though Quebec maintains a dormant claim to some of the territory north of this line. The catchment area of London, the capital city of England and the United Kingdom, can be broadly defined by the 51st and 52nd parallels. At this latitude the sun is visible for 16 hours, 44 minutes during the summer solstice and 7 hours, 45 minutes during the winter solstice.
