May 3rd 2015: Canadian Flag
The Canadian Flag turns 50 this year, actually it did in February.
Wiki says...
Quote:
The flag is horizontally symmetric and therefore the obverse and reverse sides appear identical. The width of the Maple Leaf flag is twice the height. The white field is a Canadian pale (a square central band in a vertical triband flag, named after this flag); each bordering red field is exactly half its size and it bears a red maple leaf at its centre. The blazon was registered with the Canadian Heraldic Authority on March 15, 2005; outlining the heraldic design as "Gules on a Canadian pale argent a maple leaf of the first", as outlined in the original royal proclamation.

Now you have to remember this design came from dead center of the turbulent sixties.
