People don't give much thought to Newfoundland here. The Quebec-Newfoundland animosity over Churchill Falls is basically a one-way thing (coming from NL) and most people wouldn't even be aware of it.
There is a bit of a tinge of bitterness over the 1927 border dispute involving Labrador though, but that's really only among a small number of history and politics geeks.
Overall NL is viewed fairly positively, maybe with a subtle tinge of condescension that people often treat people stereotyped as "simple" with.
(Simple in the sense of uncomplicated, not of being dumb.)
Worth noting also that Newfoundland's distinctiveness from the rest of Anglo-Canada is not really something that is on most people's radar in Quebec.
