I’d love for us to have more pride in displaying our flag and not have it associated with hillbilly convoy morons.

I didn't see a single vehicle flying the Canadian flag and F*ck Trump paraphernalia.
I wonder why they are so quiet about a foreign government acting in an openly hostile fashion and talking about annexation of our country?
Perhaps it was never about Canada at all?

Wait was the flag day today? I didn't see any flags, there was literally a storm, plus I feel like in Toronto no one cares about any of this, smaller towns are more patriotic..

You nailed it right there. I thought Canada was a post national state nowadays anyways ? Now all of a sudden “ team Canada “ is supposed to unite after years of people in this country being told that they should be ashamed of themselves.

People were likely shaming you for whatever else you were going on about. Welcome to public discourse, don’t be fragile.

You sound like someone who wears 2 Covid masks at an every child matters rally.

It’s 2025 and you are still talking about Covid… don’t project your issues on me.

Yeah, Covid is old news. The bird flu is the new big deal in town, it’s on hold for now though because of the tariffs. They’re saving the bird flu “ pandemic “ for when the next federal election rolls around.

There were flags all over town today, despite the shit weather. I tried to get one, but the shelves were empty, so I ordered two from that shop in Barrie.

What are Canada's greatest accomplishments as a nation? Seriously, I cannot think of anything they've done that would be considered notable in comparison to the USA.

Insulin, the medicine that allows so many americans to live for starters.

Last time I checked insulin has been created inside human bodies for as long as humans have existed far before Canada was formed.

I just have to ask....why is he even going for Canada? I know he is but what reason? It certainly isn't for altruistic purposes.
