Why is there a Union jack on the freaking Saskatchewan Legislative building?

Well since you're in Canada you should probably know that you have a Queen... Who just so happens to be the Queen of England(Elizabeth II) as well. Canada is a Common Wealth nation meaning that while it enjoys political independence from the UK, when it declared it's independence promised to recognize the King or Queen of England as their King or Queen as well. Canada is one of 16 Common Wealth nations all in the same predicament, so the Queen of England is also the Queen of Jamaica and Queen of Canada. That is why there is a UK flag over the Saskatchewan legislative building, because Canada and the UK monarchy are shared so the flag is a recognition of that tie between the two nations.

British Columbia, Manitoba, and Ontario all have the 'Union Jack' on their provincial flag even today. The reason there is so much "British" influence in Canada is because Canada used to be under British rule until Jan 19, 2005. Canada then became free from the influence of British sovereignty and was finally an independent nation.

I could not find any sources to explain why there are still British symbols, statues and buildings in Canada with British influence. At least Canada's flag has nothing British in it.

'Cause we're part of the Commonwealth, with a lot of goodies accruing to us because of it.

if its buggin you that much, tear it down, they cant call you a traitor or whatever, its not our flag
