What a sad day in Canadian history.
Red Canadian Ensign!
For non Canadians the old flag looks more sexy
@@vibes292Damn Right! Why do you think the Canadian Red Ensign Flag Countryball is my profile picture?
So this is back when Canada had a mixture of different accents, Women/girl at 1:08 1:11 sounds Irish.
@@Malevolantgoat It's a shame canada has lost its real accents, its all general American now, even heard a Girl from Montreal saying yall a few days ago.
Likely from Newfoundland.
Born and raised in British Columbia and an Australian thought I was Irish once.
Irish?? No
i prefer the canadian ensign.
59 years ago today Canada changed its flag to a famous well known flag❤️🤍
2/15/1965
What did Pearson mean by a 'new Canada'?
A 'New Identity' that the Liberals would create over the next 50 + years...
Exactly. I like it now because we have bonded with it, especially over the last year. Before I was suspicious of it because I knew there was good reason to question Pearson’s motives. It was meant to have no meaning. That’s why people were so upset because they had given the old flag meaning through the world wars. Now that we have actually bonded with it, I now hear that its shameful and extremist to fly this flag and that it’s ruining the “meaning.” Seriously. The people’s bond with the flag is what gives it its symbolism and power, that’s why they are starting to dislike it now. In the next few years I’ll bet we’ll start to hear calls for another new flag for a “new Canada.” Seriously makes you think.
New Canada😂 they never gave credit to everyone about the flag the original 3 sections buy Cyrus LeBlanc was on video copyright and CBC has it .❤ 1963 -1964
He meant a Country that can stand on it's own without the British Umbilical cord. He meant it's time for Canada to grow up.
Some of the states here down south could use new flags. It's just one seal on a blue field after another.
Maple leaves do not grow in every province. It's a terrible flag. The Red Ensign was a much better design.
Would you rather have a flag that is united or divisive and also anachronistic?
@@gabbyduga7421
There is nothing anachronistic about the Red Ensign.
Canada is to this day a Commonwealth realm. It should be a point of pride and international solidarity, not an anachronism.
There's no maple leafs west of Manitoba so there's no point to it.
@@gabbyduga7421 In 2022 they are starting to make the flag divisive now, like we shouldn’t fly it. They’ll call to change it again. Once the people bond with it like they have now, it has failed to serve it purpose. That was Proto-Globalist Pearson’s intention, no meaning for a New Canada, the “first post national state” with no mainstream culture. It was a well designed flag for that purpose. But it’s the people’s now, and that must change. You’ll see. 🇨🇦
@@schrempskynate8944 we have the Bigleaf and Rocky Mountain maple in BC
0:48 whose she and what this song
Where is Cyrus LeBlanc flag ? Yellow purple red that had 13 point leaf ?
Story missing the Father designer .
Most Canadians alive today don't remember any other flag than the maple leaf. What a tempest in a teapot it created in the 1960's though.
Beautiful flag !
I always preferred the design with the blue borders (signifying from coast to coast) and the 3 red maple leaves. I never have liked the red borders. Too much red
LightSnowOvernight Yup... too much red.
DAMN NICE FLAG-1965
I'm glad that we have our flag the way it is now, it's one of the best designed in the world.
Davide Trabona Totally Agree "Davide"!
+Davide Trabona New Zealand is going through the same thing right now
And there are some great designs too, hopefully you choose something that best represents your country.
I concur.
@@vibes292 I vote our maple 🍁 is the best compared to Japanese sun flag second best.
Thanks for being a good neighbor, Canada :) You're a better neighbor than Mexico. When you're a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints missionary in El Paso, you know these things.
What are you saying friend?
Our Canadian Flag. Be proud of it. Because other countries like Australia and New Zealand are still debating on whether or not they want to abandon the Union Jack and change the flag design all together. The debate has gone on to this day.
+simonizer888 Theres nothing wrong with Union Jack design Oz and NZ have as their flags.
The Red Ensign just looks better and is more colourful.
The maple leaf flag looks like a 1960s company logo.
The Red Ensign was better than the leaf.
@@fds7476agree
New Zealand voted to keep their ensign Canada never got a vote
Remember, the Conservatives were also against the facts and evidences that cigarettes caused lung cancer.
In 1965
and thats why kids you never listen to old curmudgeon conservatives....
+The Archetype And now they pretend to love the flag like it were the bloody shroud of Turin.
Not better than the Lebanese flag...
Trabis okay
SunShine /
Great flag.... and the hungry & poor eat it ?
"Ever since Canada existed" I agree; bring back the Bourbon flag and tell the Brits to shove it.
The French were defeated at the plains of Abraham.
@@d46512 And the anglo-Saxons were beaten at Hastings.
@@AndrewHay-u1k which is why we're not going back to Anglo Saxon identity
0:01 nice flag
Thank God that Canada, unlike the United States, never lost the ability to think and think anew. You could never even suggest that a new flag design would be a good idea for the States.
Canada was founded as a conservative country in response to new-thinking Americans after the Revolutionary War. Get your history straight. Pearson and Trudeau #1 destroyed it. Pearson was a suck up to Kennedy and sold the country. Trudeau #2 is doing a good job as well. You’re a shame to your Loyalist ancestors, if you even have any. The flag has important symbolism now and they are starting to dislike it because it was never meant to have that at all. Don’t you get it? The soldiers that fought under the old flag were not failing to think anew like good little Liberals, they saw through Pearson motives, even though he was a soldier. One of the Most shameful land overrated politicians in our history.
To quote Diefenbaker: “He shouldn’t have won the Nobel Prize.”
@@TheUnknownCountry You presume one hell of a lot. Loyalist ancestors? No such thing, colonial. Not necessary. My ancestors are the same as my family today, and my people are the reason you even exist. So if you really want to play that game, this is how it is played: when a British person tells you that they like your flag, you say thank you, just as a loyalist should, and never, _never_ reference a Hun in your response. If you really want to do us a favour, don’t let your savages and woggies ever change the BC provincial flag. That truly would be a crime.
@@iVenge How are your ancestors the Reason I exist? I exist because of my own ancestors who built have this country for 235 years. Are you British then? I wouldn’t want anyone to change another flag. Yes, I live in British Columbia, I know why it has that name and proud of it.
Are Conservatives ever on the right side of history? I'm being serious.
+ransom182 No they never have.
+ransom182 They never have, but for some stupid reason some people still vote for them, go figure.
+ransom182 usually conservative ideologies are only useful during defensive war time.
Conn- Serf-a- Tives voted tRump Enuff said.
Yeah, and so far he has taken more action in six months than Obama has in 8 years.
Here we are in Australia with a flag that doesn’t represent the entire country……….
It does it represents all Aussies the people of New Zealand literally voted to keep the Ensign and if there was a vote on it in Canada at the time they would have voted to keep their ensign but I'm guessing you feel that simply removing the Union Jack magically makes it so it represents everyone😂
We have the nicest flag in the world. Spruce needles wouldn't have made a good flag at all. Some like the cannabis leaf in the middle.
Nicest flag in the world its really not bud its a leaf with 2 red sides
