		As war began between Britain and her rebellious American colonies in 1775, various proposals for an American naval ensign were brought forward.

	Urban Legends Reference Pages: Business (Red Ensign Scare)
		What Nunziata (and others) found with their magnifying glasses was that the flag flying over the centre block of the Parliament buildings was not an American flag, but the Red Ensign (which, although it was never Canada's official flag, served as Canada's recognized flag before being replaced by the Maple Leaf Flag in 1965):

		The Canadian response was divided between the increasing enthusiasm of English Canadians for the imperial cause, and the abhorrence of French Canadians for the imperial aggression against the Afrikaners.
