As I said"Politics aside"
When Diefenbaker died,his coffin was draped,at his request,with the Red Ensign,as a sign that he was expressing to the end.I respect that.Robert,your post,I respect that too.In a free country,we do still have our liberties.Yes,politicians screw things up.But we still have our rights.We,or should I say ,the Air Force Assn,still fly the blue flag with the Royal ensign in one corner,with the Air Force roundel in the bottom of that.But you know what,I am prouder than anyone else in other countries to be what I am,Hell my blood's even red.A buddy's son came home from Croatia and I asked him what it was like.The first words out of his mouth were"Boy am I glad to be a Canadian.I guess some of us should experience other parts of the world,Maybe our minds may be changed.Look at our troops when they go overseas,They don't want to wear camo flags.They want the maple leaf flag on their uniforms to be visible for all to see.As my daughter says,"Go figure"
