Population

It says Labrador's population is at 150,000, but I think the actual number is double of that. Norum 11:47, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It was there unreferenced before I expanded the article. Do we have sources for any credible number? If not, we probably should remove it.--Ymblanter (talk) 12:19, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't looked too further, but the fact that Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean has a population of 275k speaks for itself. Then Côte-Nord at almost 100k, Nord-du-Québec at 42k and Labrador at 27k. So in total that is roughly 444.000 people living there. Norum 02:36, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I replaced 150K with 450K based on your estimates, but it would be great to have a source--Ymblanter (talk) 06:39, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
