Canada a nation yet lacking a national flag and passport
The author argues Canada is treated as a nation in international affairs yet lacks full national status at home. He notes Canada has legations and ministers abroad, a High Commissioner in London, and a merchant marine flag, but no universally recognized Canadian nationality or flag for citizens. He urges a distinct Canadian flag and formal national recognition while remaining in the British Commonwealth.
