NEW CANADIAN SYMBOL: THE MAPLE LEAF
February 16, 1965
On February 15, 1965 the new Canadian flag was flown. Comprising of a red maple leaf on a white background a red bar on either side, it is the first official flag of Canada since Confederation. Canada is a relatively young nation and with such a diverse background with strong ties to both Britain and France, the design of the flag was a highly debated subject. The Great Flag Debate, as it is infamously named, had gone on for quite some time.
At the time, Canada was trying to shed some British symbols in favour for more Canadian emblems to show their independence from Britain and showcase Canada’s unique heritage. The official symbol in Canada since Confederation had been the British Union Jack. The Red Ensign with the Canadian coat of arms was considered the flag. After WWI, King George gave Canada a coat of arms with red and white as the official colours.
The topic of finding an official flag had been brought up several times in Canadian history and each time, the topic was dropped due to heavy disputes. In 1925, Prime Minister Mackenzie King tried to find designs for a new flag, but the idea was rejected. After WWII, Prime Minister Mackenzie King tried once more to press the issue of a new flag but was once again denied by parliament.
The main issue seemed to be between the French-Canadian and the British-Canadian of Canada. There had been an ongoing debate between the two sides of whether or not Canada’s new flag should be free of colonial symbolism. The French-Canadians wanted the British Union Jack to be removed while the British-Canadians insisted that it should stay.
When Nobel Peace laureate diplomat Lester B. Pearson became Prime Minister in 1963, he was determined to find a distinctly “Canadian” flag. However, his determination alone wasn’t going to get him very far.
On May 17, 1963, Pearson showed a design of which he favoured. It was of three maple leafs on a white background with blue bars. This design incited a storm of protest in parliament across the country. John G. Diefenbaker, the previous Prime Minister of the Progressive Conservatives wanted a flag that honours both British and French heritage while the New Democratic Party wanted a single maple leaf.
Pearson decided to appoint Liberal MP John Matheson to chair a special parliamentary committee to design the new flag. When a flag design was created, a single maple leaf on a white background with two red bars on each side, and brought before parliament on June 15, 1964. Six months of debating ensued with no closure in the foreseeable future.
On December 15, 1964 the members of parliament were forced to vote. The new design was accepted with 163 for it and 73 against it. On February 15, 1965 the new flag was flown. With the new flag and a national symbol, Canada once again established itself as a country. History homework...

the library is a place where many books are kept. it's not as big as the library at hogwarts and beauxbatons, but it does have a great selection of books. granted, many are about the dark arts, but good books nonetheless.
heh that's a board explanation for the library in durmstrang, for my site.

[center][font=French script mt][size=7][color=DF6C4D]Rillnee Ana Pllyn[/color][/size][/font] [IMG]http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm29/Candy-Tea-x/Rilnee/Rillneeicon5.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm29/Candy-Tea-x/Rilnee/Rillneeicon4.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm29/Candy-Tea-x/Rilnee/Rillneeicon6.png[/IMG] [font=georgia][size=4][color=DF6C4D][i]i took a walk around the world[/i][/color][/size] [color=E4E4E4][size=3]TO EASE MY TROUBLED MIND[/size][/color][/center][/font]
[size=1][blockquote][blockquote]The sound of Rillnee's head hitting the desk many times over echoed through the empty class room. Eventually, the blonde stopped slamming her head on the desk, prventing any further brain cell damage, and she rested it there, heavy. She'd just receive a test back for charms and allow me to tell you, she'd done so bad they'd made up a mark for her: nothing. Her page was covered in large red marker, almost every mark was an X but no grade could be found on the page. Sure, Rillnee wasn't very good at charms, but she'd stayed up late into the night before the test studying and would've stayed up later than she had, had she not fallen asleep. She recalled that the day of the text she'd walked into the class room, with an aire of cockyness, sure she was going to O this test with ease. But she hadn't. She hadn't even received a T. Rillnee felt really bad, definatly not in the mood for another class, but stood up anyways and pulled her bag over her head and exited the class, falling into the flow of students rotating from one class to another. Walking past a window, Rillnee stopped. The sunlight was flowing in, covering Rillnee in direct sunligh with made her feel warm and fuzzy like. Today was a good day, the sun was shining and the skys were clear and in Rillnee's opinion today was not a good day for classes, but for going outside to play.
Rillnee was brought back to the hallway as a ball hit her in the head, correction, a quaffle hit her in the head. [b]"Oww!"[/b] the blonde hollered him pain, holding the side of her throbbing head. [b]"Oww! Oww! Oww!"[/b] she screamed again, holding the side of her head to apply pressure to where she was hit. Sure, Rillnee liked to play Quidditch but having a quaffle thrown at you while day dreaming was not fun. Especially if you were having a bad day like Rillnee. The quaffle that was now at her feet aftering hitting her was suddenly kicked by Rillnee, launched into the crowd, as she continued walking, still holding onto the side of her head. Suddenly, Rillnee stopped walking again, an idea hitting her, of course not literally like the quaffle had. She was going to skip her next class. [i]Find a friend [/i]and skip her next class. A devious smile came to her face as Rillnee began searching the crowd for a familiar face, Kylie, Kelsi, Andrée, Audrey or... Layla. She'd spotted Layla Jameson, a friend she met somewhere. She wasn't exactly all too sure anymore, but what she was sure of was that Layla was her friend and it was Layla who she was going to force to skip her next class to entertain her. [b]"LAYLA!"[/b]

Romance in any case is never the simplest forms of expression - especially when it comes to the lifestyles of the famous. Everyone had always believed in their ‘happy ending’ with the boy that they had been crushing on since they were just six. It’s awkward liking a boy at that age anyway. For Amelia-Jay Simmons, falling in love with your best friend’s brother is way too awkward as well. Hollywood will always attack back and it will always win over the usual stories; especially a love triangle between the boy and two girls that hate each other.
Welcome to Hollywood. xoxo Rumour Gossip

Do you know what I think? Do you? Well, whether you want to know or not, I'm telling you (and the other people who stalk--read, I mean read, your wall. I think you should get addicted to reading and learning like a normal teenager. I refuse to call you. It's such a hassle. So get your lazy ass in front of a book and sit there and read to me and stuff. Notice the excess amounts of "and"s? I also have a wonderful idea for your home library...but then again...since you're not reading, I don't think you deserve a home library.
...a facebook message my friend sent me. ahah
