Flag of Montreal

“So aesthetically pleasing. If I was un Montréalais, I'd have this shit everywhere. The flag consists of a red symmetric cross with a red disc in the centre, as well as five emblems representing the ancestral presence of Indigenous peoples and the four main European ethnic groups that were settled in the city in the 19th century, and which are also represented on the Canadian Red Ensign. The emblems are as follows: A red heraldic cross, representing the "Christian motives and principles which governed the founders of the city," according to the city's official web site. A white pine, representing the continual presence of Indigenous peoples. A blue Fleur-de-lys, of the Royal House of Bourbon, representing the French. A red Rose of Lancaster, representing the English. A shamrock, representing the Irish. A thistle, representing the Scottish.”
