dc.description.abstractAs an energy-producing province, the oil industry is a significant part of Newfoundland and Labrador's politics, development, and identity. This research investigates the role oil has played in discourses of Newfoundland and Labrador politics. Drawing on existing literature, I reviewed and coded findings using NVivo from 528 provincial transcripts. Through this inductive coding strategy, various themes emerged in the discourses of oil in Newfoundland politics. Themes included; a contention between resources, resource nationalism, and emotional sentiment towards the oil industry. These findings create opportunities for future comparative analysis between energy-producing provinces and fit into the existing literature of petropolitics and discourse related to oil in Canada and regional politics.
