While Canadians are not generally known for flag waving, President Trump’s repeated threats have led to a surge in flag sales. The country’s flag makers are struggling to keep up with soaring demand.

That's because the people in Canada are, with exception of conservatives, are sick and tired of the constant negative connotations media like the NY Times delves in. Reporting isn't enough for Sulzberger...he wants to influence opinion.
Most of us hate this and didn't vote for this and are distraught and terrified watching our country crumble. And now we're stuck here with the psychopath. I hope other countries offer some sort of refuge or accept the larger percentage of us that did not vote for him and our votes were discarded.
Understandable, seeing the Fight House Oval Office mobster maffia aggression towards everyone while they are the ones drowning in debt with a convicted felon in charge. 😂🇬🇧🇺🇦🇯🇵🇲🇽🇨🇦🇪🇺🇲🇽🇦🇺
As a Canadian, I'm not big on flag-waving, boasting, chauvinism and jingoism. I believe countries should try to address issues with compassion and tolerance and set an example in that way, knowing that all countries are flawed.
Donald Trump epitomizes the opposite approach. Decent people despise him
As a French Canadian who has seen a lot of cultural turmoil in this country. I am at awe with the strength of Canadians today in a togetherness I never thought I'd see before.
The truckers waved a lot of Canadian flags when Fidel Trudeau sought to imprison everyone in their homes. They got debanked and otherwise abused by the illiberal and authoritarian Trudeau regime for their patriotic flag waving trouble.
Canadian flag sales? Did somebody mention Canadian flag sales? This American bought some Canadian flags, made in Canada. When we are able to get rid of Putin, finger puppets, I may think of displaying an American flag again, but not till then.
Everyone but cult MAGA’s agree.

I’ve been thinking about this because the nation clearly is no longer “united“… I think maybe the Diseased States of America is a better name given the amount of disease the country is about to spread.
+ New York City has the world's ninth largest economy, and the New York metropolitan area has the world's largest metropolitan economy. New York is also the world's leading financial center.
Dear Canadians: Fly your flags, hate our leader, BE yourselves.
But PLEASE watch out for nationalism, don't let your blue hat wearing idiots gain momentum.
Protect yourselves from this poison. 🥺
I’m all for being proud of your country (but I’m sure not a fan of 🇺🇸 right now) … trump & his MAGAT cult of deplorable trolls are leading a global nationalists (far right fascists) movement into M.A.D. 🤯 WW3 🫠😵☠️
Thanks for sharing! It's good to our neighbors in Canada displaying their love for their country! My USA flag is flying upside down a symbolism of distress!
After the Canada vs U.S. hockey final, I found out at work that because of Trump's disrespect toward Canada, I was one of many people actually rooting for Canada that night.
He's trying so hard to sound like a voice of reason while simultaneoualy justifying Trump's moat egregious policies. He'a nothing but a syncophant trying to get ahead politically via association.
Canadians like the British and many others now see the USA and its Plastic King as allies of Putin first. It questions NATO guarantees if say Lithuania is attacked and 5i's intelligence. We are close to full defence realignment and 3 oligarchies - the US, Russia & China against the rest.
Trump and most Americans have no idea just how powerful an adversary Canadians can be when threatened, especially concerning they're sovereignty. But the people who've fought in combat with and against them do!
Please back us Aussies up. We are going to elections in May. We have Mining money running a Trumpesque set of candidates. We have the opposition party running on a Trump platform. Dutton is a HUGE Trump fan..we have the fkn US CPAC coming down here.
Enough!!!!!
I mean, cool but the last thing Canadians is to increase their sense of nationalism to US levels. In some areas it rises to ultra-nationalism here but nationalism is beaten into us as children by forcing us to say the Pledge of Allegiance every day for 13 years. It's more than any other nation.
I asked many Canadians when backpacking in my 20s why they had so many flags on their bags, hats, jackets and they always said ‘so people don’t think we are American’.
Bingo. In the early 80's I was traveling solo in Europe during Reagan's push to put Pershing 2's on European soil. Had purchased a used day pack that had a Maple leaf on the back. Came in handy.
American stupidity is strengthening the true free nations together, while the United States remains a divided nation, not seen since the Civil War. Americans are on the wrong side of history, and one day, you will receive the price for pushing, threatening, and bullying your friends and allies.
Right, but over 70 million Americans voted three times for this person despite everything, indeed i consider them stupid people nonetheless, the majority according to the political system, so American stupidity for the whole world to see.
I have great affection and respect for Canada but I feel we are closer to the brink than we have ever been. When people start waving flags it usually results in oceans of tears.
Nothing fuels nationalism like an external threat. Trump's rhetoric has done more to unite Canadians than any political campaign could. When identity feels at risk, symbols like the flag become shields. Geopolitics isn’t just policy—it’s psychology. #Canada #Trump #Nationalism #Geopolitics
Luckily those of use who have always been patriotic for our nation have already had our flags on our houses, cars, trucks & motorcycles sometimes we even have em on our clothes or stitched to our backpacks and the like.
After today's disgusting display where a sitting US President & his VP sat in the OVAL OFFICE doing the bidding of the FUCKING Kremlin, Americans should be trying to get Canadian Flags too.
AND they'll be doing it again because Travel for Americans is about to get difficult. They are NOT going to be made feel welcome anywhere other than Russia...
Trump and Vance are playing schoolyard bully in a global context. Disgraceful. Shadow president Musk is destroying our cyber defenses, Trump is weakening our military defenses. And when we get attacked on some level, our allies - after being fucked, will tell us we’re on our own.
I went to a Blue Jays spring training game in my FL town last week. I was happy that the stadium was packed, Canadians hung out at the VFW across the street pre-game & there was no booing of anthems. They know who's responsible for destroying the relationship between our countries.
Wouldn't it be great if a bunch of people with Canadian, Mexican and Ukrainian flags were to turn up at Mar A Lago whilst the orange toddler was playing golf.
Trump is bringing Canadians together in a way we've really needed. We've been feeling unsettled and having a common enemy despite our provincial differences draws us closer. We are Canadians.
Canadians are proud of their country. In America we see our Trump government as abhorrent & horrific. No affinity for the red, white and blue. A growing segment would rather wave the Trump flag or wear his red MAGA hat like a dunce cap.
There is time to resurrect USA, but not much time! 90 days!
Trump has made it clear that he will Make America Great Again. I think that by defying the American people that much, he might just be right. If all that energy can come out of inertia and turn against him...well...America will be GREAT again...it will be GOOD again...BRIGHT again...YOURS again
You’re godamn right we are!!
I HATE displays of patriotism but 2
days ago, I went out and bought a big flag AND a pole and voila, there it is, hanging proudly! The maple leaf FOREVER!
No matter our differences, our geography, our language, or our politics, we are united!
Our proud banner has been so denigrated by trump, magats and their racist broligarchs, I'm ashamed to fly the spangled banner lest people think I'm maga.

But the rest of the package is very enticing. It would make for one hell of a beautiful addition.
Adams is also the 1st NJ resident to be elected in NYC.
Maybe we should offer Adams an upgraded suite at the Roosevelt Hotel in return for his resignation. With some Turkish decor he may consider it.
CA could just leave the US and do its own thing as well. Be a trading partner to Canada too
But PLEASE watch out for nationalism, don't let your blue hat wearing idiots gain momentum.

We have a dictator loose in North America and he seems willing to start World War III.
if it comes down to it, the harder you make it for him, the harder time he will have taking on Europe.
A group of poor MAGA cultists and a crazy MAGA cult leader
is that he didn’t name “American” as the official language of the United States…
and claim that he invented it.
Enough!!!!!
P.s. Canada, love ya guts xx
Too lazy to require the facts.
Too lazy to go to the polls.

Canadians invite the world to join us in our boycott of everything American.
Buy no food, no alcohol, no vacations, no appliances, no clothing, etc. Nothing.
Instead, seek out your own country’s products or those of your allies.
If Trump thinks he can go it alone, then LET HIM.
His attempts to make things great end with something tacky, crass, and bankrupt.... which is clearly what he's doing to America.
We neither like waving flags.
Best wishes from Germany
