Why is Declan Harp not called a Metis? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.121.101.224 (talk) 22:12, 8 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Because Métis are people with mixed French and Indian descent whereas Declan's father was Irish.187.73.191.164 (talk) 18:22, 29 August 2021 (UTC)

Critical reception
The critical reception was mixed. At the moment only a positive review has been added to the article. An editor thought it gave undue weight to have only one positive review and no negative reviews, and commented out the review. Wikipedia didn't improve by deleting or commenting things out, so I have restored the review. Feel free to tag the section as needing to be expanded. If you don't have time to improve the article by adding more coverage to add the balance you think is necessary that is fine too but I encourage editors to respect other peoples edits and not delete or hide reviews.

Also Rotten Tomatoes audience voted scores are not acceptable. See the Wikipedia televisions project guidelines, specifically WP:TVRECEPTION (see also WP:UGC and WP:RS). -- 109.78.225.37 (talk) 20:57, 20 October 2017 (UTC)

Flags
In the opening sequence of the series, several flags can be seen. There's the Hudson's Bay Company flag (1682–1779), the Metis (red) flag, the Royal French flag, the United States flag (13-star "Betsy Ross" flag, 1777-1795), some kind of Amerindian flag (representing the Cree, I suppose), and the (fictional) Low River Company flag (a Scottish flag defaced with "LR Co." (top and bottom quarters) and a golden thistle (hoist quarter)). Not the North West Company flag, oddly. This needs to be looked into. Urhixidur (talk) 00:59, 24 December 2017 (UTC)


 * The French flag that is shown in the opening sequence of the series (the royal banner of the Bourbons with a blue background) was no longer in use, I think, in the late 18th century. It had been replaced by the alternative royal French flag with golden fleurs de lys on a white background, which was used during the French and Indian War and in the American Revolutionary War. Many French regiments also used flags featuring the white cross of Saint Michel on a blue background, also seen today in the Québec flag. The coat of arms of Canada, however, has kept the blue Bourbon flag to represent New France.187.73.191.164 (talk) 18:35, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
