Our Shared History...what went wrong?

Oh well, since it got off track, I had a look at my Legion Ritual and Insignia Manual.  In the drill section there is a part called:

Dip from the Carry at the Halt. 

2317. On the first note of "O Canada", "God Save the Queen", or the "Last Post" commence the DIp slowly, taking the timing from the Canadian Flag.  (emphasis added)

The next section lays how the dip is done.  It looks very like CF drill Manual format, though I don't have one of those handy.  Is dipping the Canadian Flag covered in CFP 201 (or whatever it is called nowadays)?

"I know I am not as sophisticated a world traveler as say someone from Dapp, Alberta.  However being that I am from a small farming community (Bruderheim) east of Edmonton i have a little insight to add to political and world events."


That explains a lot.  We don't cotton to you big city easterners shovin' your newfangled ideas down our throats.

I have been the Senior Subaltern in charge of the Colour Party on public ceremonial parade (3 PPCLI opening of BC Legislature back in the early 1980's), and we not only "dipped" the colours, we laid them (and the national flag) fully flat onto the ground in a spreading motion, with the colour staff tip almost touching the grass. This drill movement (IIRC) is only carried out in the Vice Regal or Royal Presence.
