		In this flag, the primary colours of red, gold and blue are placed against a background of white to allow the design to stand out clearly.
		But the design of the flag encompasses much more symbolism, for example, the Christian Cross, the Beothuck and Naskapi ornamentation, the outline of the maple leaf in the centre of the flag, a triumphant figure and our place in the space age.

		To many Newfoundlanders (and other affected Canadians), this apparently seems like withdrawing life support just as the patient is starting to recover — in such a way as to ensure that the patient never will recover properly, and will always have to stay in the hospital.
		Some Newfoundland judges have apparently suggested that it is unseemly for the rule of law to become too involved in such mere political sport.
