What was the Canadian flag called before this date?

Before the adoption of the current Canadian flag on February 15, 1965, Canada did not have an official flag. The "Canadian Red Ensign," which featured the Union Jack and the Canadian coat of arms, was commonly used as a national symbol, especially during World War II. It was informally associated with Canada but was never officially recognized as the national flag. The new flag, featuring a red maple leaf on a white background, was introduced to represent a distinct Canadian identity.
