As Canada marks the 60th anniversary of its iconic Maple Leaf flag, patriotism surges amongst Canadians in response to mounting threats from former U.S. President Trump regarding potential annexation. Across the nation, flag sales have soared, with reports of doubled sales amidst fears of economic and sovereignty challenges posed by U.S. tariffs. Flag Day celebrations take place with events across the country, including illuminated Niagara Falls and skating on Ottawa’s Rideau Canal, reinforcing a collective spirit of defiance and unity. Various former Prime Ministers and public figures have called on Canadians to proudly display the flag, emphasizing its significance as a symbol of national pride and resilience. This renewed enthusiasm for the flag reflects a broader desire to reclaim and celebrate Canadian identity in challenging times.
