Red Ensign gains popularity as symbol of defiance in Canada

The Red Ensign, Canada’s former national flag, is gaining popularity as a symbol of defiance against the country’s “post-national state” project. The Red Ensign features the composite flag of the British Empire and includes a crest that honors the four ethnic groups that make up modern ethnic Canadians: the French, English, Irish, and Scottish.

Supporters of the Red Ensign are using it to express ethnic and cultural solidarity against what they refer to as "Paperwork-Canadians." This movement highlights a growing sentiment among certain groups within Canada who feel a connection to the historical significance of the Red Ensign.

As previously reported, similar situations have emerged in other contexts, such as the recent developments involving various political groups rallying together, including members of the Patriot Front and MAGA supporters. The resurgence of the Red Ensign reflects ongoing discussions about national identity and cultural representation in Canada.
