The flag adds blue lining stripes to the red flag of Canada to represent the unity of Canadian francophones (blue) and anglophones (red).

The flag is still seen today. These were spotted on St. Patrick's Day in Montreal, 2004.

The Canadian Unity Flag (also called the Renewed Canadian Flag or Canadian Duality Flag) is an unofficial flag that was originally circulated to demonstrate the unity of Canada during the lead-up to the 1995 Quebec referendum, at rallies for the "no" side. The design was chosen to represent the francophone population on the nation's maple leaf flag by adding blue stripes to the red sections, roughly in proportion to the number of Canadians who are primarily French-speaking (blue) and English-speaking (red).
