    The American flag is also at risk of being overtaken by insurrectionists and other morons. Time to take the American flag back from these fools.

      Same in Canada. Traditionally we aren’t as flag waving as our southern cousins unless its Canada day or international sporting events but the anti-jab and the Convoy types took over the Canadian flag to be displayed with F*ck Trudeau and Trump flags to make displaying the Canada flag mean you’re with them.

      Canada does have a tradition of voting governments out, not in, so some of it is understandable when many blame their personal woes on the current government of the day but this was beyond the usual BS.
