I listened this morning to the CBC program on the Canadian flag. Today is the anniversary. I am amazed at the political fire storm it caused. What are your feelings about the canadian flag? I have always liked it, it stands out where ever you see it, I like its
simplicity and colours.

More and more, I see the Canadian flag as representing freedom and my own flag representing oppression. Especially during the Vietnam war when Canada gave refuge to so many who refused to fight an imperialist war. It always gives me a good feeling when I see the Canadian flag.

Well. I'm just happy our flag wasn't Red, White & Blue like half of the other flags in the world. Also impressed that we dropped the union jack which would have just been another remnant of the Britain's imperialist history.

On the note, Australia needs a new flag

When Pearson left office he took the origianl Canadian flag with him. It's apparently been passed down to Liberal Prime Ministers ever since.

Also the reason why pearson wanted us to have a flag was interesting. Apparently during the suez canal crisis, canadian peace makers were not wanted under a british flag. This bothered pearson alot. And now we have a flag that is respected all over the world. At this link you can watch the old video clips, of the battle.

Maybe I am.

I suppose fighting for democracy against communism is imperialist. Sure. I believe that.

Sorry If I have offended anyone.
