You’re welcome, V.J.! I remember when the maple leaf flag first came out. My dad had a parish in Hereford, Quebec, and his parisioners were not happy; they thought the design was garish. I’d forgotten all about that!

I remember when they were deciding on the flag. Somehow the simple design was reassuring.

I liked it. But I suppose there will always be those traditionalists who say if the flag ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Awesome choices for the challenge! Love the contrasting colours in the truck capture, and the leaves add so much to the flag in the header image! Love it…
