Commonwealth confusion: Marijuana leaf flies on Canadian flag in U.K’s Guardian newspaper As accuracy-in-media blog Regret the Error points out, U.K.’s The Guardian recently used an image of the marijuana flag to illustrate a comment piece, “Canada’s multiculturalism is no model for Europe.” The story has since been updated with a photo of Canada’s actual flag, not the one that subs the THC-bearing leaf for the one found on the maple tree, but Regret the Error has a screen grab of the original (a similar pic, by Mark Blinch of Reuters, appears above).
