In a recent post, Archie Black said:
> On a Canadian two dollar bill, the flag flying over the Parliament building is an American flag.
According to the Wikipedia.org website:
An American flag is flying over the Parliament buildings on the obverse of a Canadian note. This is not the case. The Birds series notes depict a Union Jack flying over Parliament on the $100 note; a Red Ensign (a former Canadian flag) on the $5, $10, and $50 notes; and the modern maple-leaf flag on the former $2 and $1000 notes. Each of these represents the flag that Canada was using at the time of the Prime Minister depicted on the bill. (The $20 depicts the Library of Parliament, with no flag visible.)
