UK_Widowmaker Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 I never realised the Maple Leaf flag was only introduced in the 60's Perhaps a Kind Canadian would post a picture of the one used before that? Thanks

UK_Widowmaker Posted February 15, 2011 Author Posted February 15, 2011 Thanks Slarti....wow!...they've had a complex History of flags!
+Gr.Viper Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 You'd think the "special joint committee" would want to put some other leaf on the flag...
Silverbolt Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 You'd think the "special joint committee" would want to put some other leaf on the flag... 'Oh! cannab....da!' weed flag 1
+SayethWhaaaa Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 'Oh! cannab....da!' weed flag lol, Maniac...
Rambler 1-1 Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 I love our flag. It is awesome. I hate it when people openly deface it, a hatred which is only fueled by the fact that several people on my street display a cannabis-clad flag on a regular basis. A major deciding factor in selecting the Maple leaf was that in the first World War, Canadian soldiers in France had drawn, carved and engraved maple leaves wherever they could, and it helped give a real feeling of national pride. Now if only Quebec would stop whining about it...

Good for you Rambler...I would be proud if I lived in Canada too!...I was lucky enough to spend two glorious weeks there in 2007....beautiful Country! Quebec?...well, they're ex-French....which is why they moan all the time about everything!!
MAKO69 Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 I thought they had it longer than that, good to know.
PinkPanther Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 Only turncoats would remove the Union Jack from their flag.
