Canadian flag facts
During the Suez Crisis of 1956, the Egyptian government objected to having Canadian peace keeping forces in the country as they wore the Canadian flag at the time, the red ensign, as seen below. This was thought to be too similar to the Union Jack of the UK who were deeply unpopular in Egypt at that time.
The Canadian Red Ensign served as the flag of Canada from 1957 - 1965.
