So, do you miss this at all?

Luckily, I live in a B.C. backwater - the Ensign flies at the local Canadian Legion and at several homes; the Maple Leaf not so much.

It’s not that I dislike the new flag - I dislike the people who prefer it.

Thanks for posting the flag image!

The old flag reminds me of the flag of the city of Montreal; St. George’s cross with a red rose, a thistle, a shamrock, and a fleur-de-lis in the corners.

Attention Flag Design Committee:

Since so many people in Montreal are from Italian, Maltese families, and the oidd Montenegrin shouldn't there be a section of the ensign with Red White and Green somewhere? Evviva Borbone!

Also, for the Irish, the Harp should be MUCH bigger. Plate of Haggis for the Scots? Change the Heraldic Leopards and Lions to sled dogs, replace les Fleurs du Lis with leg traps, and in the center section of the Jack, how about a Zamboni? And what's with the marijuana leaves?

I don't wish to be artistically hypercritical. This is a splendid flag. And in order that so much effort should not be wasted, I recommend it be sold to a breakaway African region.

Eleven months of the year, I do. Every July 1st the Red Ensign gets run up the flagpole in front of our home and stays there all month. The rest of the year it's "the red and white beer label".
