ooooOOOOO Canada.......     BACK! when Roger, Jack, and Jr were just youngins......  Canada decided they were tired of the same old flag  The people of Quebec had their own ideas of what the new flag should look like.  Which didn't seem to set very well with the rest of Canada......  After the usual debating and pissing around.... (you KNOW how Canadians are....)  The rest of Canada decided on a different version to represent them.  and so on February 15, 1965 the Maple Leaf flag became the new national emblem. |

the Quebec idea for a flag is kinda neat. They might keep that in mind for when they do the Quebecexit.

Thanks for the reminder, Bret. I was 16 at the time the new flag was raised at our school. Since that time, it has become a well known symbol of Canada around the world.

I strive to keep my facts straight and present the material in such a way as to get my readers attention without boring them to death with details. Pictures help a bunch in the presentation too!

Sorry to let you know, Brett, that the picture of the previous flag used in this blog is incorrect. And while it is similar to Ontario and Manitoba's; it is not either one of these provinces. I have seen it before and it belongs to some organization I am not sure which one. The correct flag was in fact the Union Jack; which is still the same flag that England uses.

I have never seen the pictured flag flown officially in Canada. I did some investigating on the Red Ensign and found this: "This flag was red with the Union Flag in the upper left hand corner and the Canadian composite shield—later the coat of arms of Canada—in the centre. The Canadian Red Ensign was never officially adopted by Parliament, however, and the Union Jack was still technically the official flag of Canada". Then on February 15, 1965, under Prime Minister Lester B. Parson, the Maple Leaf flag was officially hoisted, and remains Canada's official flag and emblem to this day.

That's quite a send off for the neighbors to the North.

Ok that explains it. I was having to go by a google search and just followed their simplistic response.

Oh I bet so but I sure the hell would not invest any money in the Quebec franc... they can't seem to grasp fiscal responsibility.

Also, at that time our national anthem was God save the Queen; this was changed to our current anthem of O' Canada. I can't remember the exact date of the change to our new anthem and I didn't have time to research sorry

Enjoyed your humerous trip down Canada's transformed flag over the decades. GUFHAW RRR!. iIn the nearby city of Yucaipa (former residence of L. Ron Hubbard)., upon occasion in the past the Confederate flag flew in back of local yahoos pickups... Southern Cal is not the Bay area . "With a rebel yell, give me more more more." (not really)
