However, some other bills (such as the $50) use an older illustration that shows the Canadian "Red Ensign" flag, which was the official Canadian flag before 1967. It looks faintly like the US flag just because it has a segment in the upper-left quadrant, as does the US flag. The flag on the last Canadian $2 bill was definitely Canadian.

Because the ensign has a dark box in the upper left corner, and is printed very tiny on the bill and covered in wavy lines, it is often mistaken for the American flag.
