@FortranGary @FortySacks The MTL flag is good. I will say I do like having the three maple leaves on the flag (like we have on the coat of arms) as a uniquely Canadian symbol.

@Tokebecicitte7 @FortySacks The Montreal flag is pretty much perfecy. With or without the indigenous tree.

I really do believe in a united Canada.

@joint_lord_420 @FortySacks You don’t seem to understand that you’ve already been replaced in your own homeland. You’re only 30% of the population… at least we’re still 70% in Quebec.

@Tokebecicitte7 @FortySacks You don't seem to understand that intergenerational welfare recipients don't get a say.

@RienNeSePasse More context below. It’s not just sociableness or frankness, those are parts of it. It’s that there’s broader Anglo-Saxon cultural and social norms that both Americans and Anglo Canadians are raised in, which French Canadians aren’t.

@Tokebecicitte7 I don't mean this in a rude way but your anecdote doesn't really apply. I was talking about Anglos from Ontario like myself. I can't speak for Quebec Anglos and their interaction with bilingual Quebecois. I've been all over America and the only place they weren't sociable is NYC

As an Anglo-Canadian there is nobody culturally closer to you than a French Canadian. You can go to the U.S. or the UK, and you will doubtless find commonalities and shared experiences. But at the absolute margins, at elite levels of pinpoint proximity, Olivier Tremblay drives on Highway 401 to grab Le Tims. He goes to the gas station or a grocery store to pick up Tylenol on his way to his job as a chartered accountant. On the weekend, he drives an hour out of town to hunt or fish, bringing with him a six pack of Molson, Sleeman, or Moosehead. He’s into hockey, though he roots for a different team. If he’s older, he lives in a suburban detached home, maybe a condo he owns. Maybe he’s got an SKS and a 12 gauge in his basement, and a favourite gravel pit to shoot at sometimes that the cops know about and don’t care, because they take their kids there too. He actually knows who Stan Rogers is, and has tapped his foot and smacked the table at the bar when “Barrett’s Privateers” came on in that old naval town. He knows a First Nations guy who gets people cheap cartons of cigarettes. And just like you, Olivier Tremblay thinks he may have more in common with the French, the way you do with the British and Americans. But when he goes to France, he is shocked to discover that he can’t get basic medicine at a department store or gas station, and that a single aspirin requires going to a doctor. He discovers that, as much as he loves the excellent transit and walkable cities in Montreal, and as impressed as he is by how advanced France’s are, they lean away from cars and detached homes. They don’t own guns because, in the 16th century, the king had to introduce significant gun control because people kept shooting his tax collectors. In fact, they don’t understand how or why you would ever want or need a firearm. They think Olivier is a little crazy. Though he may enjoy soccer, the French don’t care much for hockey, the sport he played growing up on ice and in the street. He meets up with a friend, and they both have the idea to exercise, but Olivier thinks he means lifting weights, while Pierre thinks he means cycling. Actually, Olivier is getting stared at because he’s quite a tall man, quite fair featured compared to most French around, and more robust. Some think he’s working class, because he has visible muscle, despite a comfortable middle class salary in the suburbs of Trois-Rivière. Nobody has more in common with Canadians than Canadians.

@GrenadaLoyalist @Monarchist_Can Coequal national flags is messy imo, personally a 1964 proposed flag stan

@Tokebecicitte7 @Monarchist_Can Obvious answer would have been to have this and the red ensign be co-equal National flags

@joint_lord_420 @FortySacks 😂

@Tokebecicitte7 @FortySacks We'll do it anyways.

@joint_lord_420 @FortySacks And who forced you to change it to the maple leaf? Don’t get me wrong I hate the maple leaf, just making a pragmatic case that you won’t be able to convince French Canadians to go back to the ensign, and that we’re the largest single ethnic group in this country (20%)

@Tokebecicitte7 @FortySacks Buddy who won the war?

L’épinglette du jour! ☝️😀 On me l’avait donné au début des années 90 celle-ci, il me semble.

La plupart des Anglo nous voient comme des citoyens de second ordre. Le Red Ensign est la matérialisation de cette réalité. Si vous vous demandez encore pourquoi ils nous veulent tout en nous détestant, un Canada sans le Québec s'écroule, mais un Québec sans le Canada prospère.

@ericglas123 Crazy cope. Monarchist bros in the big 26…

I know the reasons why some on the right are blackpilled on the monarchy and that my attachment to it might seem naive, but I say this anyway: Get this in front of the King. Get him to read him to it. Film his reaction. Have him make a statement. Make it impossible to ignore.

@EMUSKISGAY Trudeau père est 50% Anglo, le fils est 75%

Nigga if you hate it here so much, just leave already. And take your bastards Trudeau, Trudeau and Trudeau with you.

@ricPB228409 @FortySacks On ne peut pas gagner un référendum quand on ne représente que 70 % de la population (et probablement même moins maintenant).

@Tokebecicitte7 @FortySacks Comment la remigration pourrait-elle être envisagée alors que nous n'avons aucune base légale pour la légitimer, n'y aucune force politique ou policière pour l'appliquer? Pour les CF, la priorité est de relever leur nation et de démontrer que l'immigration en menace l'avenir.

@FortySacks You can say the lys and blue is to represent our first founders. But I suspect Anglos wouldn’t like this flag😂. I’m making a pragmatic case that 20% of the population is Canadien (largest group unless you lump together all Anglo’s for 30%) and they won’t get behind the ensign

@Tokebecicitte7 Right but the Norman lions represent the English component. The Union Jack in the top right isn’t to say Canadians are literally British, it’s to reflect their imperial heritage. The Australians and New Zealanders aren’t British. Nor Hawaiians.

@FortySacks I mean Anglo Canadian ethnogenisis no? This alternative is just less aesthetically pleasing

@Tokebecicitte7 This leaves out the Irish and Scottish. It’s a beautiful flag, but Anglo-Canadians aren’t just English, there’s a substantial Celtic element in them that makes them distinct from British English.

@Legrandpichet @FortySacks Vrai lol, tout le crédit à toi pour l’avoir créé. Tellement unissant…😂

@Tokebecicitte7 @FortySacks Wow nice flag !!

@EvynCAN @FortySacks Yah I will say the Canadian coat of arms is GOATed, very aesthetically pleasing and good symbolism

@Tokebecicitte7 @FortySacks I like that proposal. You get your own provincial flag. The nation's flag represents the nation's intent, vision, and founding people. The full coat of arms puts the Royal Union Flag on the same level as the New France flag.

@MLeflamme @Monarchist_Can However I do dislike the maple leaf, I’m just making the argument that if ensign guys want the flag changed, should lean on something like the 1964 proposed flag because it’s way easier to sell to French Canadians, who are still 20% of the population (largest single ethnicity)

@MLeflamme @Monarchist_Can You aren’t getting it though. Like we don’t have the red ensign now because French Canadians didn’t like it and so forced the country to get rid of it. I’m not suggesting we use the other flag, just using it to demonstrate that obv Anglos wouldn’t like to live under said flag

@FortySacks Like I don’t suspect Anglos would be very happy if this was the flag lol

@FortySacks What’s your take on the 1964 proposed flag vs the ensign? I’m open to a united Canada because remigration is the priority issue for the Canadiens and that separation is for now a lost cause distraction. But it’s hard to sell binationalism when we only get a hardly visible corner

@MLeflamme @Monarchist_Can And this is why we forced you to change it to the maple leaf lol. The point is for red ensign stand who try to sell a return to French Canadians because it’s “representative” of us, would the reversal seem representative to you? Obv not.

France lost the seven years war, if you hadn’t it’s possible the flag would look like this. The Union Jack wasn’t there because it was respresentative of the nations composing the country, that’s what the shield is for, but because we were and still are part of a constitutional monarchy.
