It does seem very 'Roots-like' but not very Canadian (although I know that Roots is Canadian) to sport such a bag. Perhaps they are meant for tourists (or Canadians travelling abroad that just have to show the world they are not American). It's not embarassing to wear the flag of another country, a country that you may have an affection for, but as Canadians (and very much unlike Americans) it does seem a bit much to sport your own flag. We love our country (well I believe most of us do) but we like to keep it to ourselves now don't we? That said, we have a couple of lawn chairs that we lug to soccer games that are adorned with the Canadian flag -- I usually put my jacket over the back so that the maple leaf is not too obvious!<br /><br />Mo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242439673360261416.post-80524303095732414922009-12-17T11:00:01.657-08:002009-12-17T11:00:01.657-08:00David, I agree that the flag shouldnt be used as a...David, I agree that the flag shouldnt be used as a sales gimick BUT as long as the flag isnt being burned or desicrated Ican live with it.
