I remember when the new flag was being proposed and the bitter conflict which arose over the idea of replacing the red ensign. It took some getting used to when it was first introduced. We had a small ceremony at my elementary school in North Vancouver, BC where the old red ensign was taken down and the new flag was raised.
I lived in Canada for 4 years and I can confirm that Canadians are very patriotic about their flag. I live in Ireland now but I have to say that I’ve developed a renewed appreciation for Canada’s flag now that I know more about flag culture. Canada’s flag is a symbol of unity and is simple but unique. I would love to visit Canada again someday as I just loved Canada and will always love it.
The original British Empire Flag was The Canadian Red Ensign which is actually pronounced EN-SYNE! Not EnSin! The Royal Union Flag IS in fact The Crown Flag of Canada along with The Maple Rag being the official National Flag But, The Red and sometime Blue Ensign are Canada's Cultural Flags. The USA Has The Grand Union Flag for it's Rich British establishment as well! I live in Buffalo NY USA and have in 5'x3' both Cotton Sewn a Royal Union Flag and The Grand Union Flag as well in the same size a Polyester Canadian Red Ensign Green Leaf Edition. God Save The Queen and Heaven Bless Us All!
blank videos But PHILIPPINES'S FLAG IS MOST BEAUTIFUL IN ALL IN THE SPACES LIKE GOD PHILIPPINES IS ORIGINAL IN EARTH Because i am Filipino as Philippines
I think it would be a great idea to change our Canadian flag to one of the original designs Blue Strips, and 3 leafs. Looks like a good design and the story behind it. Also the meaning with the blue water on either side. That is our country.
I quite like it as well, although our current one is a bit nicer. If the Pearson pennant were to be revived, it would most definitely have to include not only the Atlantic and Pacific, but also the arctic, as it will play a massive role in our future.
Why would you blame us for the fact that the English parts of Canada don't have a traditionnal culture and had to copy our symbols and our patriotic chants? lol and it's not just Québec by the way but all French Canadians.
Me too honestly, because blue 1) remember than french was the first settlers, 2) the ocean is blue, not red. And 3 maple leafs are more respectful toward the three founding people (First nations, France and England). Funny that Quebec had his national flag in 1949, 16 years old before Ottawa.
LightSnowOvernight Canada would have had a red, white and blue flag like the USA so I am glad they went with just the red. I was born under this flag and love for what it stands for. 🇨🇦
Ken Lompart I remember studying this in grade 12. The reason they chose not to go with blue borders representing sea to sea is because it left out northern Canada, the Arctic Ocean. Just one reason.

the Red Ensign was and still is Canada's true flag! God save our Queen and Heaven bless...
the maple leaf forever
It's interesting that a lot of people feel the same way about the Red Ensign.
Men fought and died under that flag.

Come back, home bud. Canada misses you. 🇨🇦
@@teamist6315 sorry can’t. A I’m 14 and B I am actually Irish but I’d love to go back even just on holiday.
They should have used the ones with the british flag and the fleur de lys! It was prettier and more meaningful.
Nah

I like the Pearson design and our current design, the leaf on the current flag looks better though.
Blame Quebec. Even our current anthem is plagiarized Mozart music used to celebrate Saint John Baptist day in Quebec.

With an overactive imagination I still have a hard time designing flags of all things, and the Canadian flag is perfect 🇨🇦
All those fools should have listen to Pearson ..
Sono Gianfranco Capitoli vivo a Sulmona nato a Windsor Ontario Canada sono fiero di essere un canadese
so.. this is where its been all my life...
Hardly iconic! The maple leaf flag resembles a beer bottle label.
I'm a Single mother! I'm all woman!
Maple leaf???
I always preferred the design with the blue (not red) borders
sweiland75 there were no official colors when the design was being considered. Please watch the video again for the history of the designs considered

Sorry Canada i am so bored at you but i am not a hater of flags im just boring here
You would be boring anywhere!
Now all that's left is to get rid of Ontario and Manitoba's red ensigns. We need to put our colonial past behind us
What a clown...
