It's the one that hasn't been changed umpteen times to be politically correct (and ensure nobody really knows the words)
Flag Day
- Thread starter Walter
- Start date
The Maple Leaf Forever still gives me chills. Really sucked when it went the way of the Edsel

What if we just like being here without feeling the need to celebrate a piece of fabric?
Well I guess seeing you don't give a crap any explanation would be singularly redundant.
My allegiance is to the land, the people and all the life that dwells thereon, not some corporate entity traded on the New York stock exchange. The Canadian government is nothing more than the board of directors of the corporation. I pledge no allegiance to fictitious entities or lines draw on a map by colonial powers that separate people and keep them separate by the use of political adversity. I believe in the sanctity and oneness of all life, not just human.
I do too, Walter.........I also remember the long debate about adopting a new flag and some of the really weird designs that were put forward. I came to like the new flag with its emblematic maple leaf and am glad it was chosen.
Whatever he was, he was pretty damn patriotic.

Then be my guest, MF...........but you better realize that all around the world, the flag of a country is an important symbol to its citizens and millions of people would dispute your attitude towards honoring it.
One has to wonder, Eagle.......but then it is MF we are talking about and exceptions might be made for the mentally deficient or pity shown.;-)
Happy Flag Day to all of you from Gopherland!
Hate to tell you this but shooting gophers is Canadian national pass time.
DUCK!
I realize that I'm too late(as it is now the 16th as I type this), but I would like to wish you a happy Flag Day as well, Walter.
If you had read the thing in context, you might have noticed I was being sarcastic, I couldn't remember which colour to use for sarcasm:smile:
Anyways ....If you draw the political compass as a circle...extreme right and extreme left end up in the same place cause they are very much alike.......
I have a flag in my front yard. I'm not some kind of super patriot, I've traveled a fair amount
and I know that we are very lucky to have what we have. Canada has been a pretty good country
for about a hundred and forty five years, and it could have been a lot different.
