Green Party of Canada (Parti vert du Canada) was founded in Ottawa
in 1983. It is an environmentalist political party founded on the principles
of ecological wisdom, non-violence, social justice, sustainability,
participatory democracy and respect for diversity. On the subnational level,
it currently has affiliated parties (with or without official ties, depending
on the local legislation) in all provinces except Newfoundland and Labrador,
as well as in the territory of Yukon. On the international level, the party is
a member of the Global Greens and of the Federation of the Green Parties of
the Americas.

The party flags are green, charged with several different variations of the
logo in white. The English-language flag displays the stylized sunflower next to
the full name of the party, word green being inscribed in large
lowercase letters and words PARTY OF CANADA inscribed below in much
smaller uppercase letters; the ratio is about 1:2 [1, 2, 3, 4].
The
French-language flag displays the sunflower next to the party name in French,
word vert being inscribed in large lowercase letters between words
PARTI (above) and DU CANADA (below), those being inscribed in much
smaller uppercase letters; the ratio is about 2:3, as revealed by the photo
currently available online [5]. There is also a video [6] with the flag visible
@0:22 and @2:51-2:53, although very few details are discernible (ratio,
sunflower and its position).
The bilingual flag displays the sunflower
between the words green and vert, the rest of the text being
omitted; the ratio is about 1:2. In the video which displays it [6], it is
visible @0:16-0:26, @2:51-2:53 and @2:59-3:01. There is also a photo [7] which
displays just a few details of the design (incompletely displayed word "green"
and the top of the letter "t" in "vert"), but it is clear that it is the same
flag (the rest of the text is clearly missing); there is also a line of text,
inscribed in tiny white letters near the bottom edge, which might include the
information about the intellectual property of the design and the manufacturer's
name, and seems to be absent from the flag seen in the video [6].
