We don’t put maple leaves on our stuff anymore because when we travel we end up getting confused with Americans trying to pretend they’re not Americans by putting maple leaves on their shit.

    Decades ago I was a young backpacker and saw other folks with the maple leaf on their stuff. Went to chat and they admitted they were Americans who had sewn it on so people would be nice to them.

    I was simultaneously annoyed at them (I'd have been pissed but they did buy me an apology pint) and proud of Canada for the reputation.

    I’ve seen a snowbird with a thin blue line Canadian flag sticker on their truck…. And salt life. Lol.

    So… maybe some of those are actually Canadians….

    How would a "blue line Canadian flag" work? Where do they put the blue line?
