Pre-1965 flag (which I like better).

I also prefer the previous "unofficial" anthem, too.

The Maple Leaf Forever.

Sing along

In Days of yore, From Britain's shore
Wolfe the dauntless hero came
And planted firm Britannia's flag On Canada's fair domain.
Here may it wave, Our boast, our pride
Enjoined in love together, The thistle, shamrock, rose entwined,
The Maple Leaf Forever.

[CHORUS] The Maple Leaf
Our Emblem Dear,
The Maple Leaf Forever.
God save our Queen and heaven bless,
The Maple Leaf Forever.

At Queenston Heights and Lundy's Lane
Our brave fathers side by side
For freedom's home and loved ones dear,
Firmly stood and nobly died.
And so their rights which they maintained,
We swear to yeild them never.
Our watchword ever more shall be
The Maple Leaf Forever

[CHORUS]
Our fair Dominion now extends
From Cape Race to Nootka Sound
May peace forever be our lot
And plenty a store abound
And may those ties of love be ours
Which discord cannot sever
And flourish green for freedom's home
The Maple Leaf Forever
[CHORUS]

Thanks for posting the pre 1965 flag. I could not remember what it looked like and now that I’ve seen it - still don’t remember seeing it in the past. (that is not sarcasm)

Both Ontario and Manitoba have retained the Canadian Red Ensign as their provincial flags by substituting the provincial coat of arms in the fly.

I like Ontario’s tribute to the old national flag of Canada.

The Maple Leaf is quintessentially Canadian and the single Maple Leaf has been worn by Canadian Olympic athletes since 1904.

The present flag is a combination of the the colors found in both English and French flags - both white and red appear in both national flags so its a tribute to Canada’s two founding peoples.
