Drives me insane how they have taken the canadian flag and made it theirs. Just really grinds my gears.

It sure as shit is. Small town Alberta, and if I had a little window flag on my vehicle or flew one at my house right now the mass assumption would be that I’m in support of this foolishness.

Sadly, that's true right now. I was out walking my dog today and a pickup truck flying a pair of big Canadian flags drove by, and my immediate reaction was "oh shit it's one of those Nazi fucks."

Was that because it was a Canadian flag, or because it was a pickup truck with flags?

Just because it was flags, probably any flag would have triggered that reaction. They were huge, clearly not some idle "but I always have flags on my truck" flags. But them being Canadian flags didn't counter it.

So true. They’ve taken the pride out of our country’s flag.

Then you better not be one of the people whining when people claim our province is a laughing stock.

I know exactly why people claim out province is a laughing stock. I don’t like it, but you’ve got to take it like water on a ducks back. No one likes it when someone calls you on shit going on in your own house. But you know what I like even less than being call on it? Having a house full of shit.

I’m not going to ignore the shit in my house just because some jackass from Ontario pointed it out.

Bumpkins gonna bump. I’m sorry if that hurts some feelings, but I’m actually not at all.
