Historic Flags
As independent city states, Jonquière and Tadoussac both flew separate, though similar flags. These flags continue today as the flags of the respective provinces.
Upon the Fusion Accord of 1837, the flags of Jonquière and Tadoussac were merged to create the new flag of Jonquiere-Tadoussac. This flag was meant to balance the merits of both flags.
This flag survived without comment until Jonquiere-Tadoussac joined the International Democratic Union. At that point, debate was aroused as to whether or not a new flag should be adopted to show the new alliegence of the country. A compromise was reached by adding the IDU scales of justice in a rondel the centre of the flag for all dealings with the IDU.
