people are all up in arms about getting the old "republic" flag back. first off, why??? and secondly, we werent a republic, but a colony.
all i see now are hippies and mall kids, like, "bring back the republic flag!!! it's hardcore"... and i have yet to hear one good reason other then "it looks better". IT HAS PINK... nothing is exactly cool about pink. it stands for independence... which we signed away when we joined canada. "Free Newfoundland!!!" WHY??? Free newfoundland so we can be completly fucked over? so we can have nothing? GROW UP. we would be screwed without canada.
and i love it when people talk about seperating from canada. that's just fucking hilarious. i had one person say to me that "if we break free, we'll have all out resources to ourselves..." ... come on people, recognize that we'll have nothing if we seperate. yeah, we have tonnes of minerals, oil, and lumber... but how will we refine them exactly? OOO, 2 billions dollars will cover it. 2 billion isnt that much money when it comes down to it, you know.
we dont exactly own hibernia, that's CANADA's, not newfoundlands.
and secondly, LABRADOR, yeah remember them, the other half of newfoundland... what do they think? do they have a say?? although they have their own flag, i am refering to the whole seperation.
this is crazy, and i hope everyone agrees. "the old flag is tacky.." ohh shut up, it represents us as being a PART OF CANADA. taking that away would be going against that. Pratt is a great artist, and i think the flag is a great flag.
when i say i am a newfoundlander, i also say that i am CANADIAN, and proud. when the flags hang from my home, it would be the current newfoundland flag, not the green, white and pink.
CANADIAN AND PROUD, muthafucka.
