Let me vent this for 2 seconds. When you look around at the flags of modern 1st world countries, Canada's looks insane by comparison.

Australia, normal, bars + stars

Germany, normal, tri color bars

France, normal

United Kingdom, normal

Czech republic, weirdo triangle, but still pretty normal

United States, bars + stars, normal

Sweden, bold colors, but still aggressively normal

Even loony Russia, remarkably normal

..... then there's Canada

They put a ******* leaf in the center of their flag. Like what...? It's like their entire message to the world is "we're not really taking any of this seriously"

We're worried about China and Iran and N Korea all the time, when the real tom-foolery is on our doorstep just a few miles north

 

Just wait until you see our heritage commercials

Assuming the book is the Bible, I think its a modern interpretation of "turning swords into plowshares". But I kind of like the approach. Put assault rifles on the flag and the snowflakes cant take them away from the people.

You realize you can't actually reach in to the flag and pull out a rifle right? It's just an image/symbol. One that can be completely ignored or disregarded, 

There's a maple leaf on my flag (well advertised in this thread I know). But plenty of maple trees still get cut down and plenty of leaves still get raked, mulched, and composted.

They should drop the assault rifle, and put a flint lock musket on instead... as the founding fathers intended

If Americans followed the same logic, we'd put a big cow in the center of our flag to symbolize our love of burgers

Meh when the American militia invades Canada and they're savagely garroting your countrymen with fixed bayonets, you will pray for the quick death from an assault rifle...

Mozambique gained its independence through a Marxist (i.e. Leftist) revolution, hence the rifle.  Marxists, as you'll certainly remember from books that aren't the bible, have a long history of putting working class tools on their flags (e.g. the Hammer and Sickle). Hence the crossed rifle and plow.  FRELIMO, the Marxist party that won independence from the Portugese, had the same plow on their flag. 

So despite your best efforts to interpret that flag through a right wing prism, it turns out you're actually quite fond of a leftist flag.  Coincidentally, both you and them (meaning left wing communists) find common ground on the necessity of firearms.  The more you know.

It was a tongue in cheek retort. There literally is no right wing/ left wing angle to it. I was joking that if you put something on the flag, you can't then take it away as it becomes a national symbol. I actually don't own any firearms and never will. Never have even fired a gun. I personally have a disdain for them.

Lol. Cutting down trees is not even close to an outright ban. 2 totally different things. Law enforcement confiscates and destroys thousands of guns every year for perfectly legitimate reasons. That's a far cry from prohibition.

Bold strategy.  Obama can't take them away if you don't even have any.

Please google the ones about Superman and basketball. Classics. I think there is also one about burnt toast which is pretty great as well. 

 

By far the best, is the one about how Canada was named

Hahaha I just looked up the superman one. She opens the crappy drawing of superman and literally the words "This is part of our heritage" run at the bottom of the screen lmao

I'm so sorry

This one perfectly encapsulates American-Canadian relations in 60 seconds. Remarkable. I love these.

Canadian: *asks reasonable question about what hes doin*
American: *responds hustlin' and gettin rich*
Canadian: *reasonably says ok just dont break the law*
American: *points guns and says F U*
Canadian: *still reasonable, says go home ur drunk*
American: *chirps Canadians the whole way home*
*No one cares about Mexico*

AHHH North America

Laugh all you want. Did you learn anything? I know you Americans are averse to opening ye old head brains when it comes to other cultures ( @kipwinger wiki search of Mozambique excluded of course) but laughing in the face of cultural  knowledge is pretty a pretty jam-jock approach. Keep in mind, there are a bunch of us on here that actually care about your stupid ass country. We like the Wings FFS! And have paid good m@ey to go to Detroit! fFS! You know how much easier it would be for me to cheer fo Montreal? 

FU guys. You ungrateful prix.

I learned Superman is Canadian? Fun fact I guess

Hey now Canada, no one probably appreciates you more than American hockey fans. It is with a heavy heart I must admit that half my heritage is French Canadian, and I still get invited to family reunions in Quebec and PEI.

Places I truly don't like: All of Europe. Yes, I'm Don Cherry raciss against the European continent. It's fun over there for like 2 days, and then I want nothing more than to return to NA. I've had some good meals in Europe, but European cuisine is mostly a farce IMHO. The average restaurant in Canada/America is far superior to the average restaurant in Europe. MRW I finally get stateside again:

How is it that no one in Europe has a decent steak??? It's ridiculous. Any Euro's reading this, acquire some land, slowly build up a herd of cattle, grass feed them their whole lives, then like a month before slaughter gorge them on corn. It's not hard. You'll make a bajillion dollars selling good steaks. I promise. For my fat American ass good food is central to my life, and Europe is intolerable.

Different languages. They're annoying. Speak English. That's about as far as we should go down that road.

Together, Canada and America are united against the European menace. All of our ancestors were intelligent enough to abandon that hellscape.

Not my main point (hence the parentheses). But hey, take from it what you will. 

It was obviously all a joke. Only the Canadian laughed though. Strange.
