The search for a new Canadian flag started in earnest in 1925 when a committee of the Privy Council began to research possible designs for a national flag. However, the work of the committee was never completed.\n\nLater, in 1946, a select parliamentary committee was appointed with a similar mandate, called for submissions and received more than 2,600 designs. Still, the Parliament of Canada was never called upon to formally vote on a design.\n\nEarly in 1964, Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson informed the House of Commons that the government wished to adopt a distinctive national flag. The 1967 centennial celebration of Confederation was, after all, approaching. As a result, a Senate and House of Commons Committee was formed and submissions were called for once again.\n\nIn October 1964, after eliminating various proposals, the committee was left with three possible designs -- a Red Ensign with the fleur-de-lis and the Union Jack, a design incorporating three red maple leaves, and a red flag with a single, stylized red maple leaf on a white square. (Pearson himself preferred a design with three red maple leaves between two blue borders.)\n\nTwo heraldry experts, who both favoured a three-leaf design, played a decisive role in the choice of our flag: Alan Beddoe, a retired naval captain and heraldic adviser to the Royal Canadian Navy, and Colonel Fortescue Duguid, a heraldist and historian.\n\nThe names of Mr. John Matheson and Dr. George Stanley are well known in the story of the evolution of a new Canadian flag. Mr. Matheson, a Member of Parliament from Ontario, was perhaps one of the strongest supporters of a new flag and played a key advisory role. Dr. Stanley was Dean of Arts at the Royal Military College in Kingston, and brought to the attention of the committee the fact that the Commandant's flag at the College -- an emblem, i.e. a mailed fist, on a red and white ground -- was impressive.\n\nDr. Stanley's design is based on a strong sense of Canadian history. The combination of red, white and red first appeared in the General Service Medal issued by Queen Victoria. Red and white were subsequently proclaimed Canada's national colours by King George V in 1921. Three years earlier, Major General (later the Honourable) Sir Eugene Fiset had recommended that Canada's emblem be the single red maple leaf on a white field - the device worn by all Canadian Olympic athletes since 1904.\n\nThe committee eventually decided to recommend the single-leaf design, which was approved by resolution of the House of Commons on December 15, 1964, followed by the Senate on December 17, 1964, and proclaimed by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of Canada, to take effect on February 15, 1965.\n\nIn due course the final design of the stylized maple leaf was established by Mr. Jacques St-Cyr, the precise dimensions of red and white were suggested by Mr. George Best, and the technical description of precise shade of red defined by Dr. Gunter Wyszchi.\n\nThe national flag of Canada, then, came into being, credit to those eminent Canadians: the Right Honourable Lester B. Pearson, who wanted a distinctive national flag as a vehicle to promote national unity; John Matheson, who established the conceptual framework for a suitable flag, then sought out and combined the appropriate components to create it; and Dr. George Stanley, who provided the seminal concept - the central concepts of red-white-red stripes with a central maple leaf - in this process.

For the United States-\n\nThe basic design of the flag is specified by sections 1 and 2 of Title 4, United States Code (4 U.S.C. §§ 1, 2 (2004)). Executive Order 10834 which may be found as a note to section 1, specifies the proportions of the flag and the arrangement of the stars in the union.

Stripes and blocks are used so they can be seen.  A flag is a signal, not a picture, and it has to be seen miles away.

As a Canadian, I will burn who's ever flag I want.  I have been involved with, and will continue to be involved with, the burning of the American flag, and the flag of any other country who's actions I disagree with, as an act of protest.  The burning of the American flag symbolizes the distruction of American freedom, and a proud end to your tradition of being "the home of the free".  Oh, and fyi, Americans regularly burn the flags of other countries.  Also, I support the burning of the Canadian flag (as a born Canadian, who's parents and grandparents are born Canadians)when this country gets up to things I don't agree with.  Flag burning is a sign of *strong* disagreement; it shouldn't be over-used, as that robs the act of all meaning.  But the jesture should not, and cannot, be disallowed.  I have not yet burned a Canadian flag, but as mr. Harpers government continues down the same path mr. Bush decided to follow, the day when that action will be warrented comes closer and closer.

A geek might say that most flags are shaped like two triagles joined together - any rectangle splits into two right-angled triangles of course - but there are other contenders.\n\nNepal features a flag which looks like two triangles, one on top of the other, bordered with blue and each triangle featuring a white emblem on a red background.  The uppermost emblem is rather like a star rising above the moon, whilst the lower emblem is a simple star.\n\nThe Israeli flag, featuring the Star of David is another possibility - the star is of course made of two intertwined equilateral triangles drawn in blue on a white background, with two more blue lines - one above and one below.\n\nOf course much of this depends on personal perception.  The Jamaican flag, for example, could be perceived to be two black triangles joined together or two green triangles joined together.

The Flag of England is the St George's Cross. The legend of Saint George slaying the dragon dates from the 12th century and Saint George became the patron saint of England in the 13th century. The red cross appeared in the crusades and is one of the earliest known emblems representing England. The flag is derived from that of the Knights Templar.\n\nThe flag consists of a red cross on a white field with the cross having a width of 1/5 of the height of the flag. The flag proportion is 5:3.\n\nWhen the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Scotland were united in a personal union under James VI/I, the Cross of Saint George was combined with the Cross of St. Andrew (representing Scotland) to form the original Union Flag (or "Union Jack"). This flag later became the national flag of the Kingdom of Great Britain, and was combined with the flag of St. Patrick (representing Ireland) in 1801, producing the current Union Flag of the United Kingdom. The proportions of the Union Flag are 2:1.\n\nThe flag is incorporated in the flag of the province of Alberta.\n\n\n(Note the Union Jack, represents all of Great Britain and is an aggregate of flag from those nations: England, Scotland, etc.)

For 140 years (1819-1959), the Union Jack flew over Singapore. Then, on 3 December 1959, the National Flag, an important symbol of independence, was unveiled at the installation of the new Head of State, the Yang di-Pertuan Negara. Also unveiled that day were the State Crest and the National Anthem. The flag was conceived and created by a committee headed by the then Deputy Prime Minister, Dr Toh Chin Chye.\n\nThe Flag consists of two horizontal halves, red above white. Red symbolises universal brotherhood and equality of men; white, purity and virtue. In the upper left corner, a white crescent moon and five white stars form a circle. The crescent moon represents a young nation on the rise. The five stars stand for Singapore's ideals of democracy, peace, progress, justice and equality.

On June 14, the nation’s annual Flag Day—the United States Supreme Court reversed itself, this time as to its decision in the Gobitis case, doing so in the case styled West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette. It ruled that “no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein.” Much of the reasoning set out in that decision was thereafter adopted in Canada by the Ontario Court of Appeal in Donald v. Hamilton Board of Education, which decision the Canadian Supreme Court refused to overrule.\n\nConsistent with its decision in the Barnette case, and on the same day, in Taylor v. State of Mississippi, the Supreme Court of the United States held that Jehovah’s Witnesses could not validly be charged with sedition for explaining their reasons for refraining from saluting the flag and for teaching that all nations are on the losing side because they are in opposition to God’s Kingdom. These decisions also set the scene for subsequent favorable rulings in other courts in cases involving Witness parents whose children had refused to salute the flag in school.
