Brad in LA, or somewhere in Canada? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

labrador

'somewhere in canada?' is the definition.
(I know that Labrador is in Canada)

'brad in la or' is the wordplay.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'la'+'or'='laor'
'brad' put into 'laor' is 'LABRADOR'.

(Other definitions for labrador that I've seen before include "Breed of retriever" , "Part of Newfoundland" , "Newfoundland area; dog" , "Type of retriever" , "Coastal region of eastern Canada" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
