Doug, i do post here sometimes, on catching up which i am now doing ... and yes i saw your question somewhere, meant to respond but could not find it later, don't know on which thread it was [vague memory of it being off-topic there though, fwiw] ... so here goes -

fotw.ca - this is the flag of a country in which i arrived one time, and stayed, must have liked it .... it had balls then, and a spine, it took shit from no one, in 1939 it was one of the very first to line up against Hitler, chased his goons all the way from Juno Beach in Normandy to Oldenburg in Niedersachsen .... in 1956 its leader LBP led the diplomacy battle against larger nations making ever-greater grabs of arab lands, in the Suez crisis, and it supplied at that time the first peace-keeping troops ever, they invented the concept and defined the rules of peace-keeping in the aerocraft on the way, actually .... true enough that one of its prime ministres' wives is reputed to have screwed Mick Jagger, but its citizenry hasten to point out that she was from West Vancouver, and was not MJ indeed a man of wealth and taste who's been around for a long long year, which may demonstrate a certain amount of spine on her part, if only to support the libido and other related anatomical parts

But now, no spine at all, it's disgusting, they won't say shit when they've got a mouthful shovelled in direct from the back rooms of the republican party .... currently undergoing an assault from the US federal 'Commerce' department, and pumping cheap oil south as fast as they can, oblivious to the threat on their children's heritage ... the place must wake up, use all its well-learned politesse, or they'll lay its soul to waste .... i fly that flag in the hope that this nation recall its long-lost pride, regenerate its spine, and decide to determine its own future

It has had other flags - fotw.ca
