I think like Chico said, it might work better without the coat of arms...apart from anything else, the coat of arms has (what looks to me like) the fleur de lys on it, which presumably represents Quebec, so flying that flag with the coat of arms would in effect be flying the enemy's colours?
I don't know about this one...I tend to take the same view as Grimace, namely that anyone flying any flag other than that internatinally recognised as that of their contry would be by definition advocating some sort of seperatism. So would loyalist forces flying that flag be a way of saying that they did not want Quebec to stay within Canada?
Perhaps you would end up with two different groups? The Maple leaf would remain the official flag, but some units would choose to fly the old flag? Those flying the Maple Leaf are fighting to keep Quebec within the federation, whilst those flying the old flag are in effect telling the Quebecois to naff off?
Whilst I am a Commonwealth citizen, I think we really need the input of our Canadian friends on this one...
