<blockquote id="quote"><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">I think the Quebecois fly a flag with 3 fleur de lys on it. Certainly everything there (including shops names, road signs etc.) are in French. Seeing as how they are only 22% of the Canadian population they try to ignore the rest of the country!
<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></font id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">

In Quebec, they fly the Canadian flag(the Maple Leaf) and their provincial flag(fleur-de-lis), much the same as say a Texan would fly the Stars and Stripes and the Flag of the Republic of Texas.(the Lone Star Flag)

A vocal minority agitate and make the news headlines. Their intention being the preservation of their proud history. Most Quebecers, just as most Southeners and Texans in the USA, are Nationalists who like to display their local pride.

To answer the original question (I tune in here frequently to talk about boats, an escapism that takes my mind away from things trivial such as work and politics and taxes) I fly the Maple Leaf from my stern. I fly club burgees from a burgee line run from my stb spreader to stb aft lower shroud.

Duane, thanks for the Wikipedia link. I should have thought about it in the beginning.

As an outsider I just want to say that I think the Maple leaf flag and Oh Canada are two beautiful and stirring national icons and as a Kansan I have huge respect for Canada as a partner in feeding the world.

Flags on Indiscipline





I have proudly flown the courtesy flags of Canada, Bahamas, and Mexico.

They hang now in my office as a reminder of voyages past, and voyages to come (along with my yellow Q flag).

The burgee of this great association is always flown.

Thanks for the warm comment Frank! I also have the same respect for the United States and think our flags fly well together.
