Canadians seem to love their flag even more than Yanks. When traveling abroad you guys always have your flag emroidered on your backpack, which is cool. I understand. You want to make sure people know that you're Canadian, not American. You have your own identity. That's cool with me....
What I don't understand is why when you travel in the states, you seem to carry that flag obsession with you. Whether I'm watching Good Morning America or David Letterman, you always have that maple leaf right by your side.
In fact, I get the biggest kick out of the Canadian tourists in San Francisco, where husband and wife will wear matching Canadian flag hats, sweatshirts, hockey jersies, or Roots gear. It makes sense when you're overseas, but in the States? Don't you want to blend in? In America, oddly enough, it's okay to be an American.
What's the deal?
