Share TweetBy ReutersOTTAWA – Between 150 and 200 Canadian troops should be in the Atlantic province of Newfoundland and Labrador by the end of Sunday to help it dig out from a massive blizzard, Defense Minister Harpist Sajjan said. “Probably by the end of today you’ll have about 150 to 200 personnel on the ground ready to provide support. The troops would be a mix of reserves already in the province and soldiers arriving from elsewhere, he added. Conditions could continue to be difficult, since Environment Canada is predicting an additional 10 cm of snow starting on Sunday night.
