Correction
Reading over a draft of the magazine piece, I realized I had previously confused my historical rooms of Parliament that begin with the letter R.
In this column from Dec. 2, I placed the coalition signing in the Reading Room. In fact, the ceremonial signing took place in the Railway Room, the same-sized committee room located directly across the hall from the Reading Room.
My mistake.
(Rest assured the disputed Canadian flags were there, whichever room it was.)
