I've honestly never been a patriot until the last few years, now I'm busting out the flag everywhere.
I remember in school we always had to sing the national anthem (poorly) and do stupid activities regarding being in Canada but it was always so dumb; you could tell that the adults didn't care so it felt like an arbitrary punishment.
Now it actually means something. Waving the flag in public or putting it on your car is risking a confrontation or vandalism but that's because it shows who in this country actually hates Canada. The flag now means freedom from arbitrary government bullshit (the very same shit the schools used to pull) and I'm proud to wave it.
I think there has been a lot of that going around. I have been seeing a lot of people in my area start flying the OG "Revolutionary Flag" in place of or alongside their American flags.
