Another prototype according to Michael

Do you know what I think would look sharp: change the blue stars to read maple leafs and make the middle one slightly bigger and add four white small ones in the four corners of the flag. I wish I were as smart as you to do it.

j'avoue que c'est bien de cette manière, je ne m'attendais pas à un tel résultat

What would be the signification of the four white stars for the flag Michael. I will try to do a sample. En effet Vincent l'effet est particulier.

Here is your suggestion Michael :

Michael Layman

well, sir, replacing all of the stars with maple leafs and keeping the flag red and white only keeps it more canadian and less busy- more eye pleasing -although gold is sharper than blue, which is more French, but red is less fitting with gold, and the stars appeal to my astronomy-side. i would have one large maple leaf in the middle (the whole ... Read morefederation), and thirteen around (provinces & territories) as for the four in each corner: we come from the four corners of the earth and the first four colonies were qc, ont, nb and ns. it is good to see you again online. your insight is always interesting and valuable. prayers appreciated as i start radiation therapy tomorrow already for my residual lower back ependymoma. keep up your great artistic and intellectual work! sorry for errors: tired and new laptop/keyboard.

Where?

Ah? Excuse me, I am from MTL, but living abroad, in Germany. Has Canada gone American while I wasn't looking? What is the meaning of those stars? A copy of the EU flag? Can someone explain why we suddenly need a new flag? Ah, the things you miss when you live abroad!

Sorry Lucie those discussion are occuring on another blog in parallel. Go to the blog and read the description and you will understand. So click on one of the flags.
