  • The Red Ensign, Dominion Day, and the Effects of Patriotic Memory on the Canadian Flag Debate
    “But It Was Ours”: The Red Ensign, Dominion Day, and the Effects of Patriotic Memory on the Canadian Flag Debate Hugh L. Brady On the morning of 15 February 1965—a day designated by Her Majesty the Queen of Canada in her proclamation—a crowd of roughly ten thousand Canadians gathered in front of a specially constructed flagpole erected before the Centre Block of the Parliament Buildings on Ottawa’s Parliament Hill.1 The Canadian Red Ensign flew from the flagpole on this chilly, snow-covered day—but not for long; the crowd was assembled to see the flag’s retirement and the raising of its successor.2 That morning, the Montreal Gazette called for understanding the viewpoint of those who will feel a pang in the heart at the coming down of the Red Ensign . they feel this regret not simply because it stood for old ties of kith and kin. For them it has had the broader meanings of the legacy: it was the symbol of freedom, of the rule of law, of the heritage of parliamentary democracy, of the standards of good sense and moderation, of the spirit of courage and service. All these are values not narrow and divisive, but the rich inheritance for the human spirit, the values to be clung to, as long ago proved and always needed.3 Inside, some 600 dignitaries gathered for a “simple and solemn” ceremony designed to bury the passions enflamed during the flag debate of the preceding year that ended with Parliament adopting the Maple Leaf Flag to replace the Red Ensign as the flag of Canada.4 The battle over the new flag pitted two titans of twentieth-century Canadian politics against each other: Lester Pearson, the Liberal prime minister and proponent of a new flag, against John Diefenbaker, Raven, Vol.

  • ICAO 1955 Covers - the Canadian Patriotic Effort
    ICAO TIE-INS By Albert Pelsser ICAO 1955 Covers - The Canadian Patriotic Effort Some of the Canadian private first day covers issued in 1955 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) provide remarkable material on the evolution of the Coat of Arms used in Canada over the past one hundred years. The coat of arms is a unique heraldic design on a shield, which forms the central element of the full heraldic achievement consisting of shield, supporters, crest, and motto. The design is a symbol unique to an individual person or family, corporation, or state. Since 1921, the official coat of arms of the Canadian monarch and thus also of Canada is known as the Royal Coat of Arms of Canada. It is closely modelled after the royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom with French and distinctive Canadian elements replacing or added to those derived from the British version. Prior to Confederation, no armorial bearings had been assigned to Figure 1: First Canadian flag after the various colonies in British North America, with the exception Confederation of the seventeenth-century grants to Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. Nevertheless, each colony possessed a great seal which contained distinctive emblematic devices. The Confederation of Canada was created in 1867 by an Act of the British Parliament and given Royal Assent by Queen Victoria. Former flag of Canada used by the federal government (though it was never officially adopted by the Parliament of Canada), the Red Ensign bearing some sort of a Canadian emblem was used by Canadians both on land and at sea beginning as early as 1868, as it was informally adopted following Canadian Confederation.
