267.0. "The Flag" by KAOA01::LAPLANTE () Thu Feb 15 1990 10:47

    
    Today is the 25th anniversary of the Maple Leaf flag. It has weathered
    well and I believe is held in high regard around the world as a
    symbol of our country.  Happy anniversary.

    Happy anniversary  too! - I'm not a big flag waver, but personally I think
    the Canadian flag is the coolest flag in the world.  I mean what nicer
    a symbol for a country could you have than a free leaf floating through
    the breeze.

          living in Germany, but always thinking about going back to
          Canada one of these years..

    <<the Canadian flag is the coolest flag in the world.

    Actually, our flag is identical to the Peruvian flag except they don't
have anything on the white part where we have the maple leaf.  The red
on their's probably symbolizes the blood shed by the Incas during the Conquest,
and the white for cocaine.  8*)

	I suppose you just have to be away awhile to feel that way.

Although not very nationalistic ("I'm European"), I get a nice 
feeling when I see the flag even after ten years away.
