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.

I like the bars idea and the Maple leaf is great, but I'm sure the flage is RED on purpose.

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 :)
