during 1850 the Canada flag was the U.K. union flag.
The Canadian Flag changed from either the Union Jack or The Red Ensign. This change was made because nationalists wanted Canada to have its own identity. The Loyalists wanted to stay loyal to Britain. There was a debate for the flag change. So later Queen Elizabeth 2 signed a proclamation that authorized Canada to have its own flag.

The present Canadian National Flag has a maple leaf. The maple leaf first appeared as a symbol on a Canadian Flag in 1837. This came about after Étienne Parent added maple leaves to the masthead of his newspaper, Le Canadie, in 1836 and noted, "Le principal, la feuille d'Erable, a été, comme on sait, adopté comme l'emblême du Bas-Canada..." In due course, in 1837 the 'Patriots of Saint-Eustache' carried a banner/flag with a design very similar to the masthead of the Le Canadien, i.e. showing the maple leaf. In 1870, after the Confederation, the Canadian Governor General's flag displayed a wreath of maple leaves at the centre. Then, in 1871, an article in the Canadian Illustrated News mistakenly displayed the symbols from the Governor General's Flag as an ensign badge. In 1965, shortly before the centennial of the country, Canada had its first official and exclusively Canadian flag: the National Flag: with a single maple leaf at the centre.

False. There is no restriction on flying the Canadian national flag at night without illumination. Consider the fact that a large portion of Canada has continuous night for a considerable part of the year. In those isolated climes where it may not be practical to provide artificial illumination, what would we have them do? Of course if it is practical to do, it is not wrong to illuminate it, but the Canadian Heritage Department simply states that "The flag may be flown by night as well as by day."
The official name of the Canadian flag is the National Flag of Canada, its national day is February 15th. The largest Canadian flag ever made was 124 by 249 feet.
