Or are you talking about the Union Jack? Technically I'd say that was never our flag we were just using it. and any we had after that were basically slight alterations to the Union Jack (see Man and ON current flags.)

We haven't changed flages in almost 50 years and I don't think changing the anthem is a good idea either.
I think he's talking about the Red Ensign:

And, once again, the lyrics to O Canada have already been changed. The line "God keep our land..." was not part of the original English lyrics, but was only adopted in the 1980s by Pierre Trudeau's Liberal government.
