While I was walking the dog early this morning, I noticed a few Canadian flags here and there in people's yards - in planters, in a window, on the very rare flagpole. We don't wave our flag much here, and it was kind of nice to see a few more flags than normal - it reminded me of why I got to sleep in a bit today.
As Canadians, we tend not to wave our flags much. We don't have to display our patriotism to prove it exists; it's just there, running deep within us. But give us an occasion like the Olympics, or the sad return of one more fallen soldier or a celebration like Canada Day, and the flags will be out.
Happy Canada Day to one and all.
