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.

Being south american, just realized that I know absolutely nothing about Canada (or Canadá, as we spell it.)
