A new book uncovers how two sisters crossed Newfoundland by thumb in the late 1950s. Their trip dragged them through rugged terrain and tiny communities. It stood out as a remarkable adventure for the time. Readers might discover vivid descriptions of coastal settlements. The sisters depended on basic maps and hand‑made guides. The book has been praised for its raw voice.

Premiers from nine provinces endorsed direct sales for breweries and wineries across borders. Quebec's finance minister said laws would have to be updated first to make it legal. Industry leaders hope the policy shift to boost local economies. Critics point out that regulatory tweaks could be complex. Supporters contend that cross‑border sales enhance tourism. The move may establish a precedent for other sectors.
