Fort Walsh built when Canada was still considered British hence the British flag.

Things I learnt at Fort Walsh  the term “red tape” originates from the practice that all communications going to the federal government had to be tied up with pink tape.  Also much of our history revolves in some way from the prevention of illegal sales of whiskey, protection of our border from the USA or making friends and or enemies of indigenous people
