‘Proud of our country’: Pride on the Canadian flag rise as the battle with Trump continues

Maple’s newspaper is a symbol of national pride for decades and after Donald Trump Anti -Canadian rhetoric, the feeling of patriotism is to sweep the earth, including the return of the flag.

The sense of pride comes after Trump has repeatedly said Canada should become 51.

15. February indicates 60^th Anniversary of the Canadian flag after being first erected in 1965.

“This year, more than ever, not only must we celebrate our flag, but we remind ourselves what it represents: our values, our resistance and our sovereignty,” said Minister Pascale St-Ege.

“This national emblem represents the values ​​we nurture – generosity, openness, respect and equality. The flag that could not be mistaken for any other, connects us to our national identity, with our Canadian pride and with each other. Seeing our bright red -white flag with a maple leaf flying reminds us of the home we all share.

Legera’s survey announced this week revealed that Trump’s threats are launching a national pride rush, with 85 percent of Canadians saying that they feel proud Canadian.

Stewart Perst, a lecturer of political science at British Columbia University, said that people saw the flag again as a symbol of tolerance and involvement, and Canadian recognition from the United States. During the protest of the “convoy of freedom”, “he symbolized a new form of identity,” he said, but now Canadians are invited to wave proudly.

“The flag is flying for everything,” he said.

In a joint statement this week, former premiere Joe Clark, Kim Campbell, Jean Chrétien, Paul Martin and Stephen Harper invited Canadians to fly the flag on the flag day as “Never Before.”

“Let us show the world that we are proud of our history and are proud of our country,” the statement said.

Maple Leaf was the first to design George FG Stanley, and that red and white flag flew off the store shelves in the last few weeks.

Judy Denham, owner of Saskatoon flag trade, said Trump suggested that he become a state, sales increased.

“There is definitely an appeal to the people who are currently buying Canadian flags,” she said. “When the former premiere who invited the Canadians to fly the Canadian flag, we found that the Canadians respond.”

Denham said on Wednesday that they had done more sales in one day than in the week.

“I had a few customers commenting that they had never owned a Canadian flag today,” she said.

“I think many people, although they do not necessarily want to take a hard political attitude, respond to what is happening in North America,” Denham added. “They want to show that they are Canadians.

“They believe that they are strong Canadians and only make their subtle statement that they want to remain united.”

Candice Mauro, President of Calgary Processed, echoed with similar feelings, saying that sales began to grow after Trump’s comments about Canada became an American state.

“You see a rise in pride,” she said. “People who have entered to talk to our employees want flags for their farms. They want them for their surfaces or even just a pillar they have in their yard.”

Flags Unlimited, another Canadian company, said she saw the sale of the state flag twice the same time a year ago.

And on the other hand, Mauro said they had not had US sales in February so far.

While Trump is still pushing Canada as an opponent, Mauro happy people show her Canadian pride one flag each.
