Canada question

free flags in our beer boxes? "c186282" wrote in message . com... I just got back from another great trip to Canada. This time I went to the Bruce Peninsula and the Georgian bay. It was my 6 months old baby girl's first camping trip. The last time I was in Canada was in 2000. This time I saw a lot more Canadian flags out flying than I remember the last time. Has there been an increase in Canadian pride? Tell me more. How much beer do you have to buy to get a flag? How big is the flag? What is the quality of the flag? Is this promotion still going on? Or are all you Canadians now laughing at me because I have missed some Canadian inside joke? |

Some time ago "Tequila Sheila" Copps, one of our federal ministers of what-zit-department decided to give away canadian flags (big ones) that could be flown from car antennas, homes, graveyards, etc. The Canadian government paid for all of this nonsense. There was not even a requirement to fly the flags. hence, the comments about flags in beer cases, flags as bed spreads, flags as curtains. Etc. Taxpayers took it pretty stiff lipped (after all, they voted this dictatorship in as a majority government until the next election). However, they still laugh at Sheila Copps as she tries to maneuver towards a leadership bid for the Lieberal Party of Canada - the party that figured it was good to cut back on education and medical services while spending a BILLION dollars registering grandpappy's duck hunting shotgun in an effort to reduce gun-related crime...
