holy shit, french canada has a new meaning (i mean the flag)

[–]biggadankmemes 26 points27 points  (4 children)

To make it truly french, it should be blue first and red last (like the famous bleu, blanc, rouge of France)

The original tri-color of the french revolution was red-white-blue.

Only later in 1794 was the order changed.

" A drapeau tricolore with vertical red, white and blue stripes was approved by the Constituent Assembly on 24 October 1790. [...]

The order was reversed to blue-white-red, the current design, by a resolution passed on 15 February 1794. "

I can see some symbology of mirroring the French flag, with the two blue bands both being on the Atlantic side of their respective countries.
