UK_Widowmaker 571 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gr.Viper 131 Posted February 15, 2011 You'd think the "special joint committee" would want to put some other leaf on the flag... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rambler 1-1 9 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... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
