Good morning everyone! Today in 1964, the House of Commons voted 163-78 to adopt the red and white maple leaf design as Canadas flag. Also today in 1965, two U.S. manned spacecraft, Gemini Six and Gemini Seven, manoeuvred within three metres of each other while in orbit, and in 1988, the Supreme Court of Canada struck down provisions of Quebecs language law, Bill 101, which required that all signs, posters and commercial advertising in the province be only in French. Premier Robert Bourassa later used the notwithstanding clause to exempt the law from the Constitution.
