When I was thinking about the topic for today's post, my head was empty. But when I turn on my computer in the notification window in the section: Today in history, the notice about Canada flag day pops out. The Canada flag was adopted on 15th of February 1965. And here's my post.
When we came to Canada for the first time it was almost annoying to see that red maple leaf on every step. The leaf on the plane ticket, the leaf on a little coffee spoon. On the napkin, on the beer bottle. Wherever you stand you can see at least one flag or symbol in red and white color with that red maple leaf.
Canadians are real and proud patriots.
Look at these two guys.
On Canada day in Mutartt Conservatorium.
Flag on streets of Edmonton.
Flags at the Farmers market in Old Strathcona

Flag on the top of the mountain in Banff National Park.
High on the sky above Calgary.
But this morning I was disappointed. Very disappointed.
I didn't check the mainstream news for months. I'm too busy on steemit.
But just from curiosity, I opened the CBC website to read about the Canada flag day. I couldn't find a single line about that. Strange.
I read a news how the city councilors discussing to lower the water depth in the pool on Churchill square from 40 cm to 15 cm. Safety precautions. And how restaurants gonna ditch the plastic straws because they polluting oceans.
Common guys?
They give me a very good reason not to open MSM for at least another six months.
Or maybe I'm missing something here. Canadians, please enlighten me, if I'm wrong.
Happy Canada flag day, eh?
Thank you for posting @oldtimer.
Lovely photographs and topic.
So sorry to hear of the demise of patriotism there in Canada.......same in Britain....sad, really.
All the best to you and yours.....cats as well.
Cheers.
Happy Canada Flag Day.
Long live the Queen.

I respect the national flag of all countries of the same country. The significance of the national flag of a country is immense. I understand very well. All countries teach us to honor our national flag. "Like the national flag of all countries, we have achieved the independence of Bangladesh / by fighting independently. ,,,,,,,,

Wow, Flag day, an amazing thing which i know about Canadain flag when the prime minister Georage Stanley change the flag of Canada there was approximately 5000 designs submitted, and this one was selected, The flag is an attractive one.
Although every citizen due respect for his country's flag, which seems in the people of Canada, that how much they love it, and it should be.
the clicks are amazing all the time, all credit yours Sir Oldtimer, every time and every day you bring a new idea for post with attractive clicks, with me its very difficult thing to do.
thanks for your contribution and through this i revised the Flag's date, which i probably forged, keep sharing such positive stuff and cheers for the Flag Day.....

Canada is a country I have been aching to visit since childhood. Hopefully that 22 year old dream will become a reality someday. The Canada National flag day is an event I really want to witness, atleast I have seen some beautiful pictures of it upclose courtesy of you. God bless you for sharing this. I feel like I have shared in the celebration even though I am far away in Africa

Happy Canada flag day
Each time I put on my polo shirt with Canada's flag and designs the intriguing aspect that excites folks the most is the maple tree on it.
The maple tree represented on the flag is really symbolic...I don't know the true meaning of it but I do love it

The people of Canada are patriotic citizens, the choice of red on flag is sharp and very attractive besides, the flag of a Nation is its identity and that what good citizens do, they flaunt it everywhere showing how proud they are with their nation.

One flag is not pointing in the right direction at the Farmers market! :)
