Can it be resurrected as a symbol of subversion & the right?
>>
flying a red ensign in canada is like flying st georges flag in england. everyone will just assume youre and ELD type moron.
>>
>>131892606
Only by the truly based.
>>
Well its still used as a military symbol, mostly for WWI remembrance and Vimy Ridge and its still used as a British heritage symbol so it kinda already is especially
Also the Post had a great editiorial recently about why the ensign is the true flag of Canada which tells our history better than the shitty fucking leaf. http://nationalpost.com/opinion/beyond-the-duck-the-maple-leaf-flag-embodies-canadas-national-amnesia/wcm/956a04c2-7442-478e-b9b4-b0ba384271a4

Whenever anybody tries to equate the St George with racism the public kickback is decidedly strong and hostile, but I take your point.

>>131892741
Is it fairly common or very rare?
>>
I've always liked the red ensign, although THREE FUCKING LEAVES

This is now a "Flags you wish you could fly in public" thread

What the fuck are you smoking? St. Georges Cross is literally the English national flag, how does that make you EDL?

It's as if Canada isn't already a parody of itself.

It's become a battleground between the liberal media (guardian, independent etc) and basic all the rest of the country. A few times in the past couple of years there's been a social media war over the English flag, but as I said here >>131893279, people were furious.

Just out of curiosity, is it because the red cross triggers all the muzzies?
>>
>>131893504
It's a symbol of heritage, tradition and the honour of those who have died for it. Also, didn't we literally invent your country by drawing some lines on a map of Turkish territory?
>>
>>131893861
I've not heard anyone other than white liberals make an issue out of it tbqh.
>>
>>131893789
Canada literally switched to the FUCKING LEAF because of that faggot Pearson who voted to change it not with referendum but a minority government vote in Parliament. Fucking globalists killed the ensign and now bastardize it as a symbol of white power. Its fucking disgusting what the fucking socialist scum have done to our pride and our heritage, they will burn.
>>
>>131893872
No, you didn't. You did invent Israel, though.

>>131892606
>Can it be resurrected
no, never

Nope, I was right.

No, that was Russia. You didn't contribute in our liberation. You and your French buddies sepparated it 4 months later. The Berlin treaty.

What was the South African colonial flag?
Does it look good?

Explains why it's so grotesque.

Tbh, I love Britain and I love England but I've always thought the St. George's flag just doesn't look as aesthetic and good looking as the union flag

I fully agree, though I am a Welshman so I'm biased.

I think people here get an extremely distorted view. People in Canada love the maple leaf.

/poltards/ from Canada are way way way out in right field on this one. The flag isn't even an issue (at all). Everyone is happy with what we have.

If you flew the Red Ensign, you'd look like a tourist from Bermuda.

Only the very elderly would even know it was once the national flag, and most of them prefer the leaf by now anyway.

Gee maybe because they were indoctrinated into it since Canadians in 1964 had no say in changing the flag and that commie Pearson just did a vote and made it legal without referendum.
Fucking sheeps are pathetic, the red ensign has always been our true flag and will always be the flag of the true Canadian patriots.

>uk flag
meh

background is cool though
>>
>>131893308
To be frank, it's a pretty ugly design what with those three other tiny flags just slapped into the middle. Almost as bad as the 2001 Georgia flag. Don't do that kind of shit.

It is a more frequent sight than you'd think. In my town you can see it flying above every Legion hall, and it's not uncommon to find at historic sites either. The school I teach at has also started flying the one I donated to the senior library when I made the case that, given the schools establishment in the 1920s, the ensign is more in line with the school's historic roots. We still fly Pearson's rag, but at least the true flag is up there beside it.
