    I get doing that on national holidays and such special occasions, but otherwise I find it kind of too much.

    Wonderful! I got my little flag from attending Canada Day event in my little town last year. Put it up on my front window on Flag Day and it will stay there until I need to replace it. I have been eyeing the flags (supposedly made in Canada) being sold in Canadian Tires. Most likely will purchase that when I need to replace my little flag.

    At first, I was quite angry at dumb anti-vax convoy for flying the Canadian flag and resisted putting up the flag. But then I thought, “I am proud to be Canadian damnit! Why should I let some idiots, anti-science Maple maga hijacked my feeling towards my country’s flag?” So I decided to put it up on National Flag Day of Canada (Feb 15).

      Next time, just buy from a Canadian flag maker. There are quite a few.

      Don’t beat yourself up. Flags are “consumeable” and need to be replaced pretty often as they fade and fray.
