Flag of Canada

The Canadian Pole ( Canadian pale ) is a vertical tricolor , in which the average strip is 1/2 the length of the flag, and not 1/3, as on most tricolors. With this configuration, more space is left for the central image . This term was first coined by Canadian historian George Stanley in 1965 when he adopted the modern flag of Canada ^[1] . Initially, the Canadian column was understood as a flag with an aspect ratio of only 1: 2, the middle strip of which was a square, but later this definition began to apply to other flags that have different aspect ratios, but a similar configuration ^[2] . Canadian post is quite common. Examples can be found on the flag of Iowa , the Northwest Territories , the island nation of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines , the cities of Edmonton and Burlington .
