In accordance with a formal proclamation by Queen Elizabeth II of England

Wrong. The proclamation was made by Queen Elizabeth II of Canada.

That’s not the only error, it’s the Canadian Coat-of-Arms, not some nondescript “crest”. Reporters are idiots, and those who write on such subjects should be drawn and quartered when they make such glaring and insulting mistakes.

That said, the trudeau liEberals are trying to make hay out of Harper’s not making a big deal out of the anniversary of L.B. PEARSONS flag. There’s a reason there is no Tory blue in the flag.

I’m still trying to figure out where exactly this Lower Canada is/was/might have been.

“Beginning in 1610, Lower Canada, a new British colony, flew Great Britain’s Union Jack, or Royal Union Flag.”
