For much of its post-Confederation history, Canada had used various versions of the Canadian Red Ensign as the popularly recognized unofficial (de facto) Canadian national flag (along with the British Union Flag). While the Maple Leaf Flag has been used officially since its adoption in 1965, the Union Flag and the Canadian Red Ensign are still sometimes flown in Canada by veterans groups or those who support the Monarchy.
