Challenges and Changes of
Making The New Canadian
Flag
Challenges
- Canada wanted to change their flag in 1965 as the current one (Canadian
Red Ensign) had the British symbol on the current flag which no longer
represented Canada as they achieved its path towards sovereignty from
Britain.
- Many Canadian war veterans and Conservatives thought it should not be
changed as it had been the flag under the many Canadians who went to war.
- It was challenging to settle and make a decision on changing the flag as many
debates and occured.
Changes
- More than 3500 new flag designs were shown and suggested to be used as
the new flag (according to article)
- Finally the government decided to have the flag bold and red with a maple
leaf on it.
- The flag did not relate or influence Britain or the allies. As well as did not
represent as one specific culture or race, it shows multiculturalism and
varietyb

the Suez Crisis

europe. Making it challenging for ships to cross another way.
- During the time, Israel was at war with Egypt. France and Britain decided to
join Israel to attack Egypt so they could gain control of the Suez Canal. The
Soviet also decided to join Egypt and help them keep control
- Because Britain was allied with Canada. It means they would also have to be
involved...
