Wink Canadian States of America

Tell me, is it really true that on a Canadian two dollar bill, the flag flying over the Parliament building is an American flag?

That's the first time I've seen one of those up close. They never stay in my bank account long enough to study 'em. Eh?

I believe it is the Flag of the Confederate Union (as usually said around here:"Union Jack"

I could be wrong

No, are right. It is the King's cross, with the Union Jack in the upper left hand quadrant.
