  Jack Pickersgill
Pickersgill was born in Norfolk County, Ontario, and raised in Manitoba.
Pickersgill had become involved in Newfoundland politics at the informal request of leading federal politicians in the late 1940's and was instrumental in supporting Newfoundland's pro-confederacy movement.
When the Liberal government was defeated in the 1957 election, Pickersgill was re-elected as an MP, and became a leading tormentor of the new government of John George Diefenbaker from the opposition benches.

 Newfoundland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The referendum campaign was bitterly fought and interests in both Canada and Britain favoured and supported confederation with Canada.
This is exemplified in the role of Jack Pickersgill, a western Canadian native and politician, who worked with the confederation camp during the campaign.
Religion played a significant role in the final analysis as well with the Catholic church lobbying for continued independence.
