The Original Canadian Tribar Flags: Newfoundland and Acadia


Happy Canada Day 2018!!!

Before the Canadian tribar flag was adopted in 1965, other Canadian flags have were adopted soon after Canada was confederated in 1867.  It was during the Wilfrid Laurier Era, Canada's French speaking founding father, that these flags were created.

Acadian-Canadians differ so slightly from the Quebec-Canadians, likewise Newfoundland-Canadians differ from the Continental-Canadians, since they were the last part incorporated into Canada after WWII.  Every so often you hear that some of the old British Caribbean Colonies might join up with Canada some day?  Like Turks and Caicos?
 
Although these flags have no official rank to represent geography, they are heritage flags that commemorate two honorable and distinct voices within Canada.
