1404371 2015-07-09 03:29:00 what a load of rubbish

go and ask the Canadians how many would remove the maple leaf and go back to the Union Jack?


and rubbish back at ya :p
Yes , lets do it properly. Go back to the 1960's when they changed their flag & look at the reasons & public support at the time.
It was politically motivated
Yes, lets ask who back in the 60's supported the change of Canadian flag

If I was forced to make a flag it would have a .303 on it.

What a quaint NZ expression, but hardly, considering America tried to conquer Canada in the war of 1812 on, and was defeated by the Canadians "at battles such as Queenston Heights in Upper Canada and Chateauguay in Lower Canada — set the stage for the creation of a unified and independent Canada a half-century later."

1404375 2015-07-09 19:49:00 Call a Canadian an American and you'll be lucky to still be standing as the last words leave your lips. Having spent quite a lot of my 20's in Canada I can honestly say they pretty much all hate Americans. gary67 (56)
1404376 2015-07-09 22:09:00 It's a complete waste of time and tax payers' money.

Anyway, what can we expect from this bunch of politicians, other than doing all these useless and waste of money 'jobs'?

Not so much hate, as regard them generically as morons and with disdain :)

My two feisty Canadian granddaughters would agree with this statement:

"Canadians generally have a prejudice towards Americans at large, and frequently make jokes about how Americans know nothing about geography or history."

For example, few Americans would even know or admit that they were defeated and thrashed by the Canadians in the 1812 war:

"Canada won the War of 1812, U.S. historian admits" :banana

1404378 2015-07-10 03:43:00 An interesting extract from eggshell/lurking’s post.

“The debate lasted more than six months, bitterly dividing the people in the process.”

Seems we have history repeating itself yet again.

But as far as our flag goes I feel sure they will accept the one I designed for them years ago.

See my Avatar. It depicts the country divided in two with a white hand passing fists full of money to a brown hand.

As this accurately depicts Key & Co’s Separatist and Racist agenda I can’t see why they found the need to go to all the trouble and expense they have.

1404379 2015-07-10 04:38:00 The flag debate is a diversionary tactic designed to deflect public attention away from loss of sovereignty that will come about with TPPA, the sale of sizeable chunks of NZ real estate to China and other foreigners, and other things the government don't want the hoi-polloi to know about, like sleazy Saudi deals, :horrified :D Terry Porritt (14)
1404380 2015-07-10 04:48:00 As a red herring it serves the dear leader well.
Interesting to see zero posts on this thread from 'Mr Capital City'
Perhaps he actually disagrees with his 'precious' on this,
either that or he knows which issues he has no hope of winning.
