Where can I get a Republic of Canada Flag?
I am trying to get the Republic of Canada flag... a picture of it is shown in the link below.

I can`t seem to find it anywhere online. I've tried ebay and some other online flag stores. Does anyone know of a specific source I can use to get this flag?
Just to re-iterate. This is not a trolling attempt or a joke. I am a proud Canadian, I just like to collect rare flags.

There was indeed a "Republic of Canada" formed by William Lyon McKenzie on Navy Island in the Niagara River. He even had a flag, with the two stars representing Upper and Lower Canada.
But it lasted all of a month, from December 1837 to January 1838. So I really don't think anyone could say that this was an official flag of "Canada".
I can declare myself independent of Canada, and make my own national flag. Doesn't mean I can stop paying my taxes or Canadian laws don't apply to me. Unless I'm trying to become a "Freeman on the Land". And even then, I can yell it to the high heavens but I'm still going to get arrested if I kill someone for walking across my lawn, because the laws of Nospamland are not recognized by Canada.
As for getting a version of the flag, I doubt you will find that in any store. Your only real option would be to send in the design to a novelty flag manufacturer and see if they are willing to make you one. Maybe try the company in Vancouver from the link I provided.
