As the new school year begins, residents of Newfoundland and Labrador are expressing outrage over the omission of their province and Cape Breton from the map featured on Hilroy Canada exercise books. The glossy notebook design, which typically includes a map of Canada, excludes key regions, sparking widespread criticism. Teachers and locals argue this erases the province's geographical and cultural significance, with some threatening to boycott the product. Victor Aucoin, a teacher, called the exclusion 'a sin' and vowed to contact the company to remove the books from shelves. Residents like Johnathan Goodyear and Rose Wilkinson worry the error could mislead students about Canada's geography, while others highlight the province's historical and military contributions to the country. The controversy has prompted calls for the company to recall the design, with many emphasizing the importance of accurate representation in educational materials.
