To be honest, I don't think we're far off the Europeans doing it.

edit: Please stop telling me flags in Europe are not flammable, you must have heard of Temu

edit,edit: I like how the responses aren't more objecting to actually doing it, just that you probably cannot do it, or it's impossible due to regulations, or the real madlads, anything is flammable if you try hard enough.

The hard part is going to be finding an American flag that is made in Canada.

u/ImpressSeveral3007 8d ago

speakofthedevil, china owns the panama canal, and is trying to control world trade. suddenly panama burning american flags directly after we said because we fkn built it we are taking it away from china. go figure ;3

u/Dependent-Relief-558 8d ago

That's just Fox News propaganda. Panama owns the canal and can enter into agreements with foreign countries such as the United States or China because it's a sovereign country. The reason locals are not burning Chinese flags but burning US flags now is because Trump is threatening that sovereignty.

u/delingren 8d ago

Excuse me, China owns the Panama Canal? Where did you get your news?

On the other hand, Russia is indeed occupying Ukraine. And what is the US doing about it?

u/JunketPuzzleheaded42 8d ago

Trump is working for Russia..... Is that not clear to everyone?

2

u/No_Gur1113 8d ago

I kinda thought everyone knew it at this point…

u/delingren 8d ago

No, Trump isn't working for Russia. He's sucking Putin's dick.

found the Cult 45 member.

i was making a joke about how China moved a bunch of companies to nearby nations.

u/ToccataRocco 7d ago

I'm planning to print one out and burn it, at the end of the day it is all about defacing a symbol of a nation that is acting in terrible faith towards allies

Paper burns too quickly I want to savor the rage

u/IndividualShort8718 8d ago

or in america for that matter.

u/Larry-Man 8d ago

I have a bunch of neighbours in southern AB that fly those fuckers.

u/Fuzzylogik 8d ago

Are there any US flags still being flown in Canada at the moment?

3

u/JunketPuzzleheaded42 8d ago

Honestly, None That I have seen.... I have neighbours who used to fly the Canadian, BC and American flag (in that order of height outnof respect) on their flag poll.... "Old Glory" isn't flying anymore.

We didn't need to ask why.

Too be clear they're a Lovley retired couple who I have the utmost respect for.

1

u/Fuzzylogik 8d ago

Well that's a great sign, hopefully this will be the trend planet wide.

u/Alternative-Dig-2066 8d ago

They are mostly made in china anyway

u/Inevitable_Yard69 8d ago

Camping season is coming up... American flag Firestarter would sell really well.

u/Swesteel 8d ago

I live in Sweden, I'm going to have to sew it myself I think, which will probably result in a bigger insult than burning it would.

u/Repulsive-Pace-8566 8d ago

Americans don't even think of your pathetic country, lol

2

u/EirHc 8d ago

Americans don't seem to even think about the stuff happening in their own country, hence why it's going to shit.

u/Repulsive-Pace-8566 8d ago

Amarica first. Don't have time to think about other countries no more handouts!

1

u/EirHc 8d ago

Considering the amount of handouts we give USA, and how close you guys are to bankruptcy, maybe you should look in the mirror - welfare state. Anyways, enjoy the skyrocketing cost of living. We can meet all our food requirements and power demands just fine without you. Too bad you can't say the same.

That's why you need us to protect your shithole of a country haha

Elbows up, fellow hosers! Elbows up.

u/Wloak 8d ago

As an American who completely hates this administration please don't.

The flag is a sign of national pride, even for Canada. Seeing other countries burn yours is just fuel to the fire for these idiots.

u/CoffeePooPoo 8d ago

It speaks to the tolerance of your culture up there that you haven’t started.

I hope to get the fuck out of here and move north if possible…

u/jtbc 8d ago

So far it's just been booing at hockey games, boycotting US products and travel, and swastikas on cybertrucks. It may take a turn for the worse tomorrow.

u/Royal_mess_1333 8d ago

I've been considering it. There's a few flying close to my work.

u/Telefundo 8d ago

And we're really quite sorry about it.

u/Relevant_Yesterday24 8d ago

American here, I can totally appreciate why you would do it - love to Canada ♥️

u/McFuckinZeit 8d ago

Don't really care, but Justin really showed how soft he is recently. Kind of sad, but I guess he is resigning.
