Also the final flag selected by that committee before the final three was identical to Stanley’s single red leaf but had blue borders like the Pearson Pennant only a darker blue and in the dimensions we see with our current red borders. The intention: a red maple leaf from sea-to-sea. It was set aside because of Quebec reps suggesting that blue was a Quebec colour. Thus the final three were chosen to compete instead. This I have on the good authority of the senior civil servant in that committee.

You might think this history is interesting as well. Tattooing was in the lands called Canada before European cultural influences.
