I know that the Provincial Flag of Quebec was the 2nd Provincial flag, currently in use in a Canadian Province, to be created. It was adopted in February 1948, as the official Provincial Flag, to represent the historic French heritage and French Canadian majority in the Province. Montreal at the time, had a higher percentage who spoke English as a mother tongue and 1st official language, then most parts of the Province, with the exception of the modern day RCM of Pontiac, in far south-western Quebec. That's why it's flag represents the English, Scottish and Irish, as well as the French, who made up the biggest ethnicities in the 1830s, when the first flag was adopted for the City. I think the French Canadians were originally represented by a beaver. However, later on in 1939, the beaver was replaced by a fluers de Lys, because it bore more resemblance to French speaking peoples as a whole. The Flag of the City of Montreal today, is the same, except with a yellow pine tree, to represent the aboriginals or red Indians, if you were born before 1970, some of whom made alliances with the original French settlers in the 17th and early 18th Centuries.
