"If there was NO 1867 Confederation, and only the foreign Manifest Destiny pressure on the three Canadas of that era, we would be singing NO Canada, instead of Oh Canada".
The Canadian designer of Uniflag decided to finish what he sketched on a napkin 57 years ago in Winnipeg. The first public display was at Citizen Forums in Toronto, Whitby, and Montreal just before the Charlotte Accord of 1992. Uniflag portrays a visual reminder to how three 1867 Canadas formed one new country uysing legacy coours with cardinal point symbols to reflect the grassroots story of Confederation.
