You’re gonna see a lot of Canadian flags today…so I thought it would be a good time to do a re-post. This was originally posted January 14, for Nepotism Thursday.
Nepotism Thursday
A quick little read from Ty’s brother, Brad Templeton, as to whether their father, Charles Templeton, had any top-secret involvement in the creation of the current Canadian flag.

Personally…I think the story is nonsense. My father wouldn’t have helped design our national flag, and then kept it a secret. It’s absolutely not in his nature to not brag. Fun to think about, though.
Of course, Dad still killed Elvis. That a family legend I won’t see denied.

Happy Canada Day!
I’m not seeing the link to your brother/brother-in-law’s story. Did I spend too much time in the sun today, or is there a broken link somewhere?
Nope that’s me (Keiren), obviously got mixed up when I put in the links. It’s fixed now, but just in case…

(sorry can’t be bothered to sign out of Ty’s WordPress acct to sign into mine, in order to comment, then sign out so I can sign him back in…Life is short! kts)
Glad to hear that your Dad can’t be blamed for any role in replacing our glorious Red Ensign with that bland ‘corporate identity’! Nice family photo, btw.
As long as the paternal was not in the grassy knoll then there are no gripes from your southern neighbors.
Cheers!
