For how long was the Canadian Red Ensign Canada's flag?

  1. 150 years

  2. 50 years

  3. 100 years

  4. 200 years

The correct answer is: 100 years

The Canadian Red Ensign was used as Canada's flag from 1868 to 1965, which is a total of 97 years. Options A, B, and D are all incorrect as they either significantly overestimate or underestimate the length of time the Canadian Red Ensign was used as the flag. Option A is 50 years too long, option B is 47 years too short, and option D is 103 years too long. Only option C correctly reflects the 100 year period in which the Canadian Red Ensign was Canada's flag.
