And in the US. The flag doesn’t deserve any respect as it’s a sign of oppression and Nazis. If I see anyone with a flag that’s not accompanied by a pride flag or something else liberal, I assume they are racist nationalists because that’s all it represents now.
I completely understand the feeling. After the 2022 “freedom convoys” the maple leaf became associated with similar kinds of people. Canada Day 2022 was not a day filled with patriotism. It slowly made its way back to normal over the next 2 years, but up until the last few months someone with a flag flying from their car window still gave off a particular negative vibe. Now it’s back and bigger than ever.

The US flag has always been an icon of bad things, stupidity and ignorance.
