This pisses me off

Take a look at the pathetic attempt at a Canadian Flag. It's hideously incorrect in its proportions, despite the US flag being roughly correct. I get annoyed when tourist trinket stores sell incorrect flags, so to hear that Pier 21 in Halifax hosted the Prime Minister and the US President and used horrible flags REALLY annoys me. But I doubt anybody else will even blink.

For the Americans: how would you feel if we had displayed a flag with only 40 stars? Or 12 stripes? Grrr.

The correct proportions and sizing of the Canadian Flag

We're so proud (or at least, many of us are) because it's *our* flag. Yes, it's young,but before that the Red Ensign didn't say Canada, it just said "piece of the British Empire." So this one really, to me, says something for us alone.

When Canada first reached the "World" Series of baseball, the Americans raised our flag upside down at one point, and it was on the news for a week.

This is fun, but this "flag-talk" made me think about a myth in Chilean history which said that the Chilean flag was elected the second most beautiful in an international contest held in Europe back in 1900.

The funny thing is in Colombia they also say the same.
