There is only a red outline with the middle white. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />All of Canada is legally bilingual -English and French. I guess they think that having both languages might be too confusing, and just the white cross means the same in both languages. That's why CN is CN and not Canadian National (on one side) and Canadien National (on the other side) which is what they did in the 1960s. <br /> <br />Peter <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I still see the odd <br /> <br />"Canadien National" <br /> <br />Boxcar roll-by. <br /> <br />For years I thought they were spelling Canadian wrong.
