John Hogan is Newfoundland and occupied Labrador (since 1927), new premier

Is John Hogan able to remember that Labrador was part of Québec and was stolen in 1927 due to a decision by a British court full of Lords  and then annexed to Newfounland because Newfounfland was in bankruptcy ?

From Wikipedia :

In 1924–25, the Dominion of Newfoundland proposed to sell interests in the eastern part of the peninsula to Quebec for CA$15–30 million ($259–518 million in 2020 dollars), but Quebec Premier Louis-Alexandre Taschereau refused. 

He believed that the territory lawfully belonged to Canada (and thus Quebec), and decided to wait for the Privy Council's decision.

The government in St. John's then repeated its offer after a favourable Privy Council decision, this time to Canada, asking $110 million (equivalent to $2.11 billion in 2020 dollars) for the land, but that deal was also rejected.

When Newfoundland surrendered its autonomy to British authorities in 1934 due to the government's severe budgetary crisis, it was ready to sell Labrador again, but Quebec was not receptive. 

Just before joining Confederation, Newfoundland launched one more bid to sell Labrador, which a lot of Newfoundlanders found to be useless beyond the fishing rights the waters conferred, but it also failed.
