Welcome to The Red Ensign; a publication dedicated to highlighting the achievements, and advancing the future of the Anglo-Canadian people. This Substack is the production of a small team of Canadians dedicated to preserving a posterity for future generations of Canadians, and to ensuring that the memory of achievements of our fathers is kept in honour. The Red Ensign was the flag of Canada from Confederation until 1965 and is a symbol of our people, all that has made them great, and all that could be again.
“To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.”
Great premise for a paper. A useful subject for an article might be the origin of the name Canada, as the present argument for its indian origin is both widely accepted and not very convincing.
This 1893 linguistics journal includes an argument by A. Marshall Elliot, who makes a convincing case for a European (Spanish or Portuguese) origin for the word, and effectively criticizes the dubious argument for indian origin. https://www.jstor.org/stable/2918432?seq=10#metadata_info_tab_contents
