Today Canada's flag turns 60. I was in I believe Grade 4 when the switch from the Union Jack to the Maple Leaf happened. At that time I just couldn't understand why a new flag was necessary.
Now however I understand perfectly. I love my flag and I love our anthem which has changed over the years to be so much more inclusive.
My little flag banner will be staying up for quite awhile as we go through some difficult times. As Pierre Trudeau said living above an elephant, you feel every movement that elephant makes.
Showing our pride in our country is one way of countering the elephant trying to roll over my homeland.
Everybody have a wonderful evening.
God bless.
