Canuck Quotes: The Canadian Flag

January 14, 2011 By Pat Williams

Canadian Flag

. . all the rules the ordinary flag owner need pay attention to are few and simple. For him is just one flag that can properly be flown; that is the Union Jack. The Red Ensign, called the Canadian Flag, with the Canadian Coat of Arms in the field is proper only afloat. . . . In hoisting the flag the broad white stripe of the Cross of St. Andrew should be next to the mast-head for if reversed it is an indication of distress. The flag should never be hoisted before sunrise, nor should it continue to fly after sunset.

“Flag Flying” an editorial from the Toronto Mail and Empire of 5 June 1925

“Flags that have been torn in battle with a foreign enemy can still fly with pride. This will surely be the first flag in history that was shred by its sons.”

Globe and Mail December 16, 1964

The flag is the symbol of the nation’s unity, for it, beyond any doubt, represents all the citizen’s of Canada without the distinction of race, language, belief or opinion.”

Honourable Maurice Bourget,
Speaker of the Senate
Feb. 15, 1965

  • “Story solutions lessen fear, elicit doses of adrenaline at just the right times, and more importantly for the captured naive self, cut doors into walls which were previously blank.” I found this quote particularly timely as we head into a new year where we’ve all had to dial ourselves back,
