Stare at the flag and keep blinking. I am not a patriotic person. I could give a shit about anyone's flag, but the Canadian flag is actually catchy.

No wonder why it's so respected around the world. Simple, yet elegant.

The old flag had the English Union logo in the upper left. They changed to promote their history and away from Great Britain.

That was the flag when Matty's 11th great-grandpa settled in the New World.

I love me some US/Canadian history. The rest of the world, not so much.
