Well, I have lots of respect and sympathy for SHH and NL culture, but I doubt he would say that St. John's influence largely eclipses Toronto's influence as the Anglo-Canadian culture centre. I mean, the national news in NL comes from TO, as do the sports channels, the music channels, book chains, movie distribution companies, etc. Many of its stars go to Toronto to ''make it''. SJ has a strong local culture, but I would surmise the mindspace is shared between SJ, TO and a number of other places (NYC-LA, Dublin, etc.)
For all of this, Quebec OTOH has its own stuff, based out of Montreal.
