I just had this little known fact about our National flag revealed to me today. Tell me, can you see the two faces in the Canadian Flag?
Here’s a little help from MS Paint.
The two faces are named Jack and Jacques, and from their position and expression, it looks as if they are arguing. It’s debatable whether this example of figure-ground reversal was intentional. Still, it’s a symbol of how our country was forged from a tacit agreement of equals rather than a glib consensus. I like that.
