Flags......

I have received a number of e-mails regarding the Flag that I have displayed at the bottom of my replies.

The Flag is called the "Canadian Ensign " or the "Red Ensign".

This was the Flag of Canada before the Liberals changed it in 1965 under the leadership of Lester B. Pearson the liberal leader of that period of time.

Here is a brief reason of why I recognize this flag, rather than the Red Maple leaf with the Red Bands down each side respresenting the two oceans.

************************************************

WHEN THE Maple Leaf flag was foisted on Canada in 1965 by Liberal PM Lester B. Pearson, I must admit I was angry and upset.
However, in view of events over the past several years I'm now content.
I'm glad because the hundreds of thousands of Canadians who fought with honour and valour in World War I, World War II and Korea under the Canadian Ensign will never have their flag dis-honoured by the likes of Jean Chretien and his cronies.
Small consolation, I know, but the Canadian Ensign still flies high and proud in my heart. It was never disgraced.

I have even started digging the hole to place the pole so as to fly this flag high in the yard.

If you need a little buying advice/ sources for a flag pole, let me know. Believe it or not, this bleeding-heart liberal JUST HAPPENS to have a 30-foot bronzed aluminum pole in his front yard, complete with locking internal halyard. I fly a 6' x 10' American flag, 100% cotton with individual stripes and hand-sewn stars- lasts about a year before it needs replacement. Not too shabby for a "pinko," huh?

Fly it with pride Mil1ion! NEVER let the memory and honor of fallen soldiers be discrased, dishonored, or forgoten.

I had no idea about the Canadian flag, thank you for the lesson.
