Something struck me when I looked at the Canadian flag on this "Canada" Day and it's something that's always made me wonder.
It seems that the Maple Leaf is a symbol of Eastern Canada and not the West. Somehow that was overlooked back in Lester Pearson's day when Canada chose a rather unusual emblem for the flag

You know how fickle the populations are.
One minute Canadians were favoring Pierre Poilievre, but the very next minute they were doing the chicken dance and voting for a WEF sockpuppet.
(And the amazing thing is that they don't even know how badly they screwed themselves).
