Even without reading the Charter, the vacuity of the assertion that Nova Scotia's flag was authorized in 1621 should have been evident from the fact that the Charter predates the grant of arms, upon which the flag is based.
Nova Scotia has never actually authorized a provincial flag, preferring to pretend that a grant of arms creates a flag available to the public.
Further, in both Great Britain and Nova Scotia, the public usurpation of their flags is largely a product of the twentieth century, and in each case a tradition was then invented to give it the respectability afforded by a feigned patina of antiquity.

Maud Lewis was born in Yarmouth County, Nova Scotia.  As a child she was stricken with polio which crippled her arms, deformed her hands and affected her neck.  She did not often raise her head, but when she did, her clear blue-grey eyes lit up her face like candles.  She was small, slight and alert.
They had no electricity, no running water and very likely they did not take the daily paper.  But they did have a vegetable garden, the most beautiful sweetpeas, several cats, a dog, a tame crow and a fat trout, whose name was Fred, in the well.
Noted Nova Scotia artist John Cook gave Maud full marks for composition and sense of perspective.  He liked her broad lines and fresh ideas.  Maud died in 1970, but her heart-warming paintings live on in public and private collections throughout the world.
