Nain is the only community on Labrador’s north coast with cell service, which it acquired in 2019. Evans, who is from Makkovik, says Bell Canada has a pattern of refusing to help the north coast of Labrador. Then, in 2022, Nunatsiavut chose Bell Canada as the proponent for the Labrador North Wireless Broadband Project. Starlink, by contrast, offers high-speed internet to customers on Labrador’s north coast but doesn’t provide cell and landline services, Evans says. “Bell internet sucks,” she says.
