[Alberta's Child]

Canada's current flag is about as non-offensive and non-descript as it could possibly be, but that's pretty much in character with a country that puts animals on its coins and pictures of winter acitivities on their bills (I'm looking right now at a picture of kids playing hockey outdoors on a $5 bill, and I gotta admit its kind of cool).

This may sound odd coming from an "Anglo," but kudos to the people of Quebec for making the point that Canada isn't even a real country but a collection of individual provinces and territories that have a lot of sovereignty themselves. In fact, Canada today is very similar to what the U.S. probably should have been if the vision of our founding fathers had remained intact.

We used to have buffalo nickels, Mercury Dimes and Indian head pennies...
