I've often wondered about the flag. Red means danger. Are Canadians
dangerous? Red means stop. Stop what? Red is the colour of blood. Is
Canada bleeding? Is Canada for blood letting? Is Canada for killing?
Do Canadians bleed for each other? the country's leaders? the world?
The red road on and surrounding the white of peace? Maple trees
(although not sugar) are all across Canada so that is
representative. White could be for snow - the Great White
North?...OK. But hearkening back to my blurb on 2012 and Mike's reply from the Globe and Mail : While the United States flourished, colonial Canada became a
paranoid, insular place, with a sparse population and an economy
limited to resources -- a condition that would poison its growth
for almost a century and leave an even longer legacy of choked-off
development. ...
Canada was the Great White
North at the time. It was not the warm paradise it is now
becoming. And, yes, Britain wanted to rape all the Beaver, Otter,
fish, and Bison (oh, the U.S. got most of those on their southern
migrations) it could get. Next the mineral wealth which is still
being taken by more foreign interests than Canadian.
But the paranoia alluded to in that piece came directly from join the crowd or die. You are Canadian and loyal to the Crown or you are a spy. "You are with us or you are against us." Did George make anyone else shiver? Only now it is the U.S. corporations that are going to be waging war in the international tribunals - trade wars. But, I still say Canada has all it needs right here if it is not sold out from under us by these sleazy politicians or taken by the right wing actions of the neo-capitalist war machines of Corporate America.
