i dont think ur the right person to mind someone,expecially canadians,for the leinght of their existance,and the existance of their flag,remember,u are only 300 years old too,and yet dont show a piece of respect to some OLDER nations in world,think about it charge_7,and as for flag issue,its a crime to show dissrespect to any countries flag in that manner,especailly your own,id habg that SOB by his balls on that pole right next to him if i were american....Well the Maple Leaf Flag is what? 50 years old? You don't have the history with it that we do with the Stars and Stripes. Also, those very stars are a visible sign of our union - the bars a sign of our hard fought for independance. I will admit, however, that having a Canadian flag on a US hockey team locker room floor was poorly done. I'll have to take your word on that though as I have no knowledge of it. I'm sure the feeling though was in regards to your hockey team though and not your nation. Not really the same thing as the picture at the start of this topic.

I know you have an alternative view point. But we need to know what you're basing it on. I base mine on the years I spent studying in the US. And during that time, I was actually taught by university professors (who pretty much are against Bush) what to look for in regional analysis etc (after all, I am a geographer). That's what I base mine on, personal experience and professional training.
