Is there a good reason why this doesn't have the format of the Dannebrog, Tricolore, Union Jack? If a page is just about a flag, shouldn't it be as big as possible? --Henrygb 03:12, 16 Mar 2004 (UTC)
I'd rather use a standard hoist size (of 125 px) so the various flags can be readily compared. The Image:Flag of Canada link is there to provide the full size image.

I added a link (http://portal.wikinerds.org/canada-flag) to my article, it is very informational and released under CreativeCommons. Discuss here about it if you have to say anything. NSK 12:47, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
State funeral of Winston Churchill
I had to put note of the passing and state funeral of Winston Churchill because Prime Minister Lester Pearson attended the funeral. The queen approved the new flag when Pearson was in London to attend the funeral. SNIyer12, 18:04 24 May 2005 (UTC)
- I noticed that you inserted the reference the Churchill funeral, then took it out, arguing that it was not necessary. More recently, you've reinserted it. I didn't see the relevance of the original reference to the Churchill funeral and approved of your decision to remove it. Now I'm puzzled about your choice to put it back in.

Canadian Duality Flag
Before I put up an request for the article, do you think this flag (was The Renewed Canadian Flag) is very notable in Canada and should get an article in here? Zscout370 (Sound Off) 14:26, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
Funerals and royal proclamations
Sir W. C.'s funeral was not Pearson's only opportuninty to meet with the Queen: he could have arranged a meeting regardless of the circumstances. In fact, he didn't even have to meet with the Queen to arrange the royal proclamation; it could have all been done by correspondence. This is the way the royal procalamtion of Canadian royal arms was done in 1921; the flag situation was analogous. The funeral merely gave a convenient opportunity for the Queen to sign the proclamation with Pearson in the same room. A nice touch, but not a requirement. Indefatigable 16:19, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
- I have seen the news accounts between the time the flag was adopted and the time Churchill passed away. None of them have any indication about Pearson arranging a meeting with the queen to have the new flag approved. Indefatigable, I agree with what you said about the opportunity the funeral gave. I've seen the tapes of Pierre Trudeau signing the repatriated Constitution in 1982. When he did, the queen was present so that she could sign it also. A meeting had been arranged with the the Queen so that they both could sign it at the same time. The same thing applied here. SNIyer12 21:47, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
- And yet Trudeau managed to meet with the Queen without having to attend a funeral. As I understand it, this is Indefatgable's point. The PM can meet with the Queen when he/she wants. A funeral is not necessary. HistoryBA 22:52, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
