Isn’t putting up flags an American thing too? Don’t really see this kind of nationalism in other coutnries.
Common in Canada.
Where do you get the notion that it’s an American thing from?
Where is this common? I have family in Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and BC, and we rarely see flags on people's lawns/whatever. I'm in Vancouver and there is ONE flag within a 20 minute walk in any direction. In fact, my kids refer to it as 'the flag house' it's so out of place.
Hell our Prime Minister had to ask us to be more patriotic for the olympics in 2010.
It's somewhat common in Ontario. Not every street, but I'd probably see a few while driving around the city.
