Like Australia and other former British colonies. Canada was, as I recall, a "Dominion" back in the forties when I was in grade school, with a Governor-General appointed by the British Monarch; but this changed sometime after that. The Canadian flag was also changed at the time from the "red ensign" which had a British Union Jack in the corner, to the present "Maple Leaf" flag. Perhaps the Canadians on this List can verify this. Best, Bob ********************************************** Robert A. Fink, M. D., F.A.C.S., P.
