] Date Posted: 12:19:23 01/07/05 Fri In reply to: Jim (Canada) 's message, "Varying flags across Canada" on 20:31:35 01/06/05 Thu The Ontario and Manitoba red ensigns were adopted AFTER the change of the Canadian flag as a reaction to it. So, we had the Canadian Red Ensign and the Union Jack until 1965 and then the Ontario Red Ensign, the Maple Leaf Flag and the Union Jack since 1965. Nevertheless, two Union Jacks, as is the current case also in places such as the Cayman Islands and Bermuda, still looks better than one, even if one of the Union Jacks is smaller and in the top left corner of an ensign. I believe Australia and New Zealand do not fly the whole Union Jack any more, but have it in the corner of their national flags. The Union Jack is really the CANZUK flag as well as the UK flag because it appears in all parts of CANZUK in some form. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
