A massive story in Canada is that damn near the entire country is turning on national God Wayne Gretzky because he refuses to stand up for Canadian sovereignty due to his desire to keep getting invites to Mar A Lago. An entire country choosing dignity over star-f*cking. We could take a lesson.

it's hard to explain how detached many Canadians became from this flag after it was coopted by the far right, see trucker convoy. So for this to be waved again by ordinary Canadians speaks volumes to the unified hatred for Trump and his administration.
