The long weekend was coming up and we wanted to do something to challenge ourselves," said Mr. Pike, a university student in St. John's. "It caught many people's attention."<BR/>Mr. Pike says it felt right and after a discussion at a downtown bar, the group took it a step further.<BR/>"Someone suggested an on-line petition. I loved the idea and went for it," he said.<BR/>"It seemed to explode through word of mouth and now it's gathering all sorts of favourable attention."<BR/>More than 1,600 people have signed the petition. Recently, when reporters asked Mr. Williams if he supports adopting the pink- white-and-green as the provincial flag, the Premier replied: "From a personal perspective, I have that preference."<BR/>He says he doesn't feel as strongly about this issue as he did when he ordered Canadian flags removed from provincial buildings last year, a move many believe helped to put pressure on Ottawa to rewrite the Atlantic accord and sign over more than $2-billion in offshore oil revenues to the province.<BR/>"I have a personal leaning, but I would have to [gauge] the will of the people. It would be premature to say how we would do that."<BR/>Government officials say Mr. Williams hasn't discussed this proposal with all cabinet or caucus members yet. He told reporters that if a majority of government members oppose the change he won't push for it.<BR/>Mr. Pike says that whether Mr. Williams supports it or not, the pink-white-and-green isn't going away. It's already proved to have impressive staying power.<BR/>It is popularly believed that the "Newfoundland tricolour" was originally designed during the 19th century to make peace between competing Irish and English sealers in St. John's.<BR/>As the story goes, Bishop Michael Fleming created the flag using a white handkerchief to join a pink flag, representing the English rose, with a green flag, representing the Irish shamrock.<BR/>In the 1940s, people who objected to Newfoundland joining Canada raised it.<BR/>A few weeks ago, Mr. Pike and the original flag-raising crew replaced the flag on South Side Hills with a slightly larger, 16-foot version.<BR/>This fall, the tricolour is increasingly appearing above homes and businesses in St. John's.<BR/>Mr. Pike says as far as he's concerned, it's not about taking Newfoundland and Labrador out of Canada.<BR/>"To me it is a sign of hope and strength for our future. I feel it is a symbol of a new attitude that Newfoundlanders and Labradoreans have taken on; an attitude that says we are not going to be pushed around any more," Mr. Pike said. "This campaign is not about separation. This campaign is about changing our current geometrical mess of a flag into something meaningful for our province."<BR/>After joining Canada, Newfoundland flew the British Union Jack. In the late 1970s, artist Christopher Pratt was commissioned to design a new provincial flag. Adopted in 1980, it retains the colours and a series of triangles, that are reminiscent of the old Union Jack, and a gold arrow meant to point to a promising future. <BR/>© Bell Globemedia Publishing Inc.<BR/>News ArchiveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11333084.post-73423164503387849322007-06-19T00:46:00.000-02:302007-06-19T00:46:00.000-02:30WJM said...
