Thank you Candice, for writing about this history. I am old enough to recall the whole flag issue and please correct me if my memory is faulty but I believe there was first a flag with blue borders and red maple leaf but then came the unveiling of the red and white Liberal party flag to be imposed on a very dismayed populace. As well, when PET imposed Multiculturalism, we were not aware of its meaning or impact. It seemed counterintuitive in a country of immigrants. (Speaking as a demoralized conservative - I observe the current reconfiguration going on and mourn for us all)
Your comment was a very nice one and a true Canadian comment. I am old enough to remember the fight between Diefenbaker and Pearson over this stupid flag. the Trudeau cult was the force of destruction from day one.
well said ..Canadians prefer to have a voice in the direction our country takes..and basically being TOLD this is the way it's gonna be ..ain't gonna cut it..
Very well said. You taught me something new in this message that I didn’t know in regards to Dominion Day. From now on it will remain Dominion Day for me but I will say that I believe in Canada being a sovereign nation without a puppet leader which we definitely appear to have now.
July 1 was first known as Dominion Day, after Canada was formally acknowledged as the "Dominion of Canada" at the time of Confederation on July 1, 1867. If you are going to celebrate "Dominion Day" you will have to fly the Union Jack flag - not the Maple Leaf.
The Canada Act, 1982, received royal assent on March 29 in London, but it did not take full effect immediately. Canada's Constitution Act, 1982, was proclaimed in force by Elizabeth II as Queen of Canada on April 17 on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. The proclamation marked the end of a long process and efforts by many successive governments to patriate the Constitution. Moreover, the constitution was drawn up by the priemiers of the provinces - not Pierre Elliot Trudeau. (the liberals) The proclamation brought into force the new amending formula, ending any role for the British Parliament in Canadian law, and implemented the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Candice was not born then, therefore she has no Idea of what was going on at that time.
Are you a Canadian (Canada day) or are you a British loyalist. (Dominion Day)
Thanks Candice, for all you do to reclaim our nation. Although the beauty remains, the damage done by the socialist elites weighs heavily. Enjoy the day with your family and God bless.
In 1965 ish, there were many options put forth for the design of the new Canadian flag. Trudeau wanted the red and white with the maple leaf..but his main opposition to that (can't remember his name) argued that the Maple tree was mainly an eastern tree and not indigenous throughout Canada..HIS design was centered on the canoe..because it was the canoe that really built our nation with trade, travel, etc. and as it was adopted from the natives right across the country, it symbolised unity across the nation. But Trudeau chose the current design (setting the tone for eastern rule). After we punt these foreign intruders..(AKA The Liberal Party of Canada) outta here, I wud support changing the flag using the canoe similar to the design on the silver dollar with a native and a fur trader paddling together..giving us a fresh start after taking out the trash
You do not know our history, Don. Trudeau (sr) was not our prime minister in 1964-65. Pearson was. He was an old-fashioned true liberal. He suggested three red leaves with blue borders, a wonderful design.The vote to accept our flag was, by the way, overwhelmingly unanimous, so even conservative Canadians were okay with it. And I have a Manitoba maple in my back yard (southeast Alberta) and I've seen maple trees in the eastern Rockies. Some people in MY country don't even know their natural surroundings.
I would have preferred one red maple leaf against a yellow background with blue borders. (the yellow signifying the golden wheat of the prairie provinces)
Would have made a beautiful and meaningful flag, IMO!
I never bought into the red colors being "liberal colors" ... God owns red, not the Liberals.
Besides, it's not a sugar maple of eastern Canada ... it's just a generalized version of maples which grow everywhere in the world including where I live in Alberta; though not so much here... it would have been interesting if they had picked a black spruce silhouette. now that's a tree that's indigenous to our country like no other place in the world ... just thinkin'.
Interesting. Your comment to Don contains references to the politics surrounding the adoption of the flag. "Trivial whining" is it? But yes, it is a decent flag. I learned a lot about it from the site I posted the link to, including correcting my thought that the colour of the stripes on the flag was a fight over the Liberal red vs Conservative blue colours, not knowing it was because blue is not an official Canadian colour.
Wayne, what mean is (unlike Don) I never look at our flag and think "that's a Liberal one." A great deal of the designs submitted in 1964 were from children and students.
everything you've taken from my statement you twisted around..and you're still beakin' off...maybe you shud learn how to read, buddy..or learn to shut up. ..now...off to bed..
Thks Anthony...got no idea how he read all that in my statement??..but his last comment is the sort of thing that shud be stated in person..not online..probably having a bad day..lololol
Nice Don. But it will not happen. You are stuck with the new UN territory of kanaduuh. The people of the only place that counts Ontario and Quebec has swallowed the pill and voted for your communist UN. Sorry, but you had your chance, but they blew it.
It is quite ironic that, 'fences' and 'radicalism' South of the border in 1776 apart, Canada now has a Prime Minister with unbreachable and inscrutable ties to the Bank of England and its corporate elites, installed by the City of London, and Buckingham Palace to misrule Canada.
Are we not in the same position now as that of the British Colonies in 1776, which, due to an eerily similar set of circumstances, were left with no options but rebellion and/or separation? At the very least, due to a purely performative Parliament (think Carbon Tax for example) Canadians are now subject to 'taxation without representation'. That was the 'biggie'! But 'equalization payments' will also serve.
I am thinking of Alberta primarily, but others would be sure to follow if the corruption coming from the heart of the British Empire continues.
I say "eerie" because the 13 British Colonies which became the United States of America, have a mirror reflection in the 13 Colonies (10 provinces and 3 administrative districts) which now make up Canada. The hoary question of whether or not Canada is actually a nation/country or 13 separate quasi-sovereign districts ruled and owned by England remains unanswered.
'Divide et Impera' (Divide and Rule) has been policy of colonizing states (and tyrannies) for centuries. And no "Our diversity is not our strength" it is theirs. Trudeau was talking bullshit at us.
'Division' is what most thinking people like Candace and Keean frequently and deeply lament today. Could it be that it was always 'baked into the cake' about to be served whole to the Canadian public by this Palace Appointee sent to rule Canada - Mark Carney.
Sorry to rain on the parade but the euphoria of either a Dominion Day or a Canada Day should not be allowed to conceal these facts.
What an interesting comparison. However, I think you need to go beyond the Palace to the real seat of power, the globalist elite, of which Mark Carney unashamedly admits to being a member. They are the ones with the unelected global governance agenda.
Thanks for that thought. Do you not think that "the ones with the unelected global governance agenda" practically describes and may apply to the dark, remaining monarchies of Europe - Denmark, England and Sweden? Throw in the inbred Rothschild clan, who think they are monarchs, and you have a pretty inscrutable but unimaginably wealthy and connected nexus of concealed control. Apparently, Ghislaine Maxwell had a permanent apartment in the Palace in London. That adds another layer to the cake - The Mossad layer - which ties nicely into global banking.
I suspect that such gatherings as Davos and the WEF involve only B and C list operatives and superficial agendas - with perhaps a few 'stars' flown in to give pep talks and help them feel more important. Most are psychopaths and, in my experience, most psychopaths are actually stupid. That is why they have to buy so much PR.
I admire you patriotism Candice. But as an Albertan, I now only have patriotism for My Province Alberta and you know why. And hopefully soon to be The Republic of Alberta. And also to let you know, Canada stopped existing in 2015. It is now the territory of the UN. Controlled by the wef and the dolt con carney as the PM manikin. I know you are lost in your patriotism, as you continue for some hope. But you have over half the population against your belief. Enjoy your Dominion Day!
Whereas I do like the name Canada Day because our association with the British Empire fractured when Trudope patriated our constitution, I agree with your words & respect the referral to Dominion Day!
Canada was founded on the notion of democracy giving one man one vote. This has led to the vortex that we find ourselves in as successive governments buy voters with tax payers money.
What must change is this equality of vote must be replaced by a tax weighted voting system giving the contributors their just due and stripping the politicians of the tactic of vote buying.
I was blessed to live in Canada before the Liberal Socialists began to dismantle our Canadian Culture. I have so many good memories of our beautiful country as a free nation. God Bless Canada
I love the way you hide your children's faces to protect them. So many don't and this is so good to see. God bless you all.
I love the cowboy boots, like a shout-out to Alberta!!!

Nicely said, Candice. The sentiment of a lot of us as we wait for a true leader to take us back to what we once were.
Yes! Carn-evil keeps trying to make us believe that the old ways can no longer exist but I say “middle fingers up” to him and his supporters.
well said ..Canadians prefer to have a voice in the direction our country takes..and basically being TOLD this is the way it's gonna be ..ain't gonna cut it..
Conman Carney!
Sorry, but IMO that will never happen.
Thanks Candace - Terrific message. All history lessons are important. Keep up the great work.

So few get it.
That is the danger!

Grow up and learn our history, Don.

I agree.

Close but no prize. The unanimous vote was by the selection committee but the vote in parliament was not unanimous. Here is a great recount of the history of our flag. https://canadianflageducationcentre.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Presentation1.pdf
Still a decent flag. I never add politics to such things. That's trivial whining.

That was ignorant & un-Canadian, but very Quebec, be kinder & respectful of your fellow real Canadians, Joe ..!!!
Thks Anthony...got no idea how he read all that in my statement??..but his last comment is the sort of thing that shud be stated in person..not online..probably having a bad day..lololol
1. Don thinks Trudeau created our flag. He wasn't even pm then.
2. I'm not from Quebec. I'm maritime Acadian.
3. Look at Don's last comment. Nice guy. NOT.
Blow me, Joe
Nice Don. But it will not happen. You are stuck with the new UN territory of kanaduuh. The people of the only place that counts Ontario and Quebec has swallowed the pill and voted for your communist UN. Sorry, but you had your chance, but they blew it.
ya..but doesn't mean we gotta like it..some of us are poor losers!!lolololol..
Happy Dominion Day to you and your family Candice. You're doing a great job. Keep up the good work 👍

I guess we'd have a better idea if we had a complete list of the attendees of the annual gathering of the Davos cabal.
...and an honest/ unbiased report of the discussions that take place there..
