That Canada got its own flag.

I can’t remember a time when the red and white didn’t fly over schools, grocery stores, Legion halls. I have been used to this flag since I was a child — drawing it in school, remembering to put 11 points on my maple leaf. You don’t think of it often, really. It’s just always been there. Well, in my life, anyway.

My parents, though, can well remember the days when Canada still flew the Union Jack.
