Thanks for posting the Red Ensign, Ivan.

The flag that was voted-on and won the vote in '65 had blue borders, but Trudeau decreed that it would be commie-red............FRegards

Nope. The flag was voted on and adopted in 1964. Trudeau wasn't elected till 1965, wasn't PM till 1968. Canada had been trying to get a new flag adopted since the 1920's, unfortunately it took the Liberal PM Pearson to do it.
