Well, so much for that piece of trash, if it's based on exclusion.

And besides, it's only the Union _Jack_ if it's flown at sea...

Perhaps in Britain, but Canada referred to the Royal Union flag
informally as the Union Jack, as it was the unofficial flag of the
unilingual part of Canada.

It still flies in Canada under specific conditions. We were also
saddled with a Red Ensign for ever so long:

Still the REd Ensign is the Flag of the older Canadian generation.
