It was right where it has always been. (did you think that it floated over from the Scottish Highlands during a particularly bad storm?)

Nova Scotia was invited to send a representative to the Continental Congress, but declined, choosing to remain loyal to the Crown. Blue being the symbolic colour of loyalty resulted in the nickname, "Bluenosers" , which is proudly accepted by the people of our province to this day.
Prior to the conquest by the English, Nova Scotia was a part of the French coloney of "Acadia".
I've never heard of NS being referred to as Newfoundland or any other name for that matter.

Nova Scotia (Latin for New Scotland)
The first documented Scottish settlement in the Americas was of Nova Scotia in 1621. On 29 September 1621, the charter for the foundation of a colony was granted by James VI to Sir William Alexander and, in 1622, the first settlers left Scotland.
This settlement initially failed due to difficulties in obtaining a sufficient number of skilled emigrants and in 1624, James VI created a new order of Baronets; admission to this order was obtained by sending 6 labourers or artisans, sufficiently armed, dressed & supplied for 2 years, to Nova Scotia, or by paying 3,000 merks to William Alexander. For 6 months, no one took up this offer until James compelled one to make the first move.
In 1627, there was a wider uptake of baronetcies, and thus more settlers available to go to Nova Scotia

Hi,
exactly where it is now...on the eastern seaboard of Canada. It was and has been variously called over the years as Newfoundland (because it was a land they'd just found) and its name means 'New Scotland' because the mountains and lakes and the shoreline reminded early explorers of Scotland.
Hope that helps,
