[edit] Headline text
The Fleurdelisé takes its fleurs de lis from the banner of the king of France, and its blue field and white cross from the ancient national flag of the same country." I believe this would be correct if it read "The Fleurdelisé takes its fleurs de lis from the banner of the Bourbon kings of France." I believe there was never a white cross on the French flag.

- There was a white cross on some French flags at the time of New France. I remember two square flags of the time, one blue, one red (with a white cross on each). This design partly inspired the Drapeau de Carillon. --Liberlogos 15:05, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)

- the blue flag with the white cross was a french merchant flag. the white cross itself was considered a french symbol before the revolution and could be found on most french regimental flag.--Marc pasquin 1 July 2005 19:37 (UTC)
The Coat of Arms of the City Chalons-sur-Marne (now officially Chalons-en-Champagne) is identical in every way to the flag of Québec. Chalons-sur-Marne is the birth place of Jean Talon, First Intendant of La Nouvelle France and the city in which he is buried. The origins of the flag, therefore, are found in the very beginning of the history of Quèbec and not just to the Carillon flag..--[User:John R.F. Gillis ]18 August 2007 12:30 (CET)
[edit] Most excellent source
For those interested in the subject, I have found a really good English language source on the history of Quebec's flag. It is very accurate and comparable to various texts I read on the same subject in French. Here is the link:
http://fraser.cc/FlagsCan/Provinces/Quebec.html
The site contains much info on the flags of the other provinces and the federal state.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Ca-qc!c3.gif
Image:Ca-qc!c3.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 03:51, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Assessment
I have assessed this as Start Class, as it contains more detail and organization than would be expected of a Stub, and of low importance, as it is a highly specific topic within Canada. Cheers, CP 22:46, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
