Dani Delaney is one of those people who bought the package. She said she admires Canada's progressiveness and think it's a good way to peacefully protest.

She doesn't like Canada being progressive???

Ah this has been going on for years.
Back in 1973 I was living in France and an American friend of mine gave me a small brass maple leaf pin. Said she'd got it in her mail that had been sent over from the states with a letter reading "come north to Canada, avoid the draft". She said she wore in her travels to reduce the grief she got as an American. I still have the pin. Hope I never loose it. She was VERY good looking!

At the risk of this post getting moved to SC.... I think Americans have always, secretly wanted to be Canadian. It's because of our beer!

And thats how you tell the fakes apart for us true northerners. Anything more then a 4% beer makes them go tipsy after 1/2 a bottle...

Ah, if you hang around a Canadian long enough, you'll start to sound like one. I was raised in Tennessee, and I married a Canadian. AndyMan and I have been together for a little over two years, and the other day, the HR Assistant at my work said "Sheesh, you married one, and now you sound like one!"

Then again, I tend to pick up whatever accent is around me at the time. AndyMan does the same thing and occasionally let's loose a midwestern accent!

It's a true story eh ;)

I was on the train in the Neatherlands a couple of years ago and I saw two women with the good ol' maple leaf sewn to their backpacks and like any other Tim-Hortons-like-commerical (Canadians will understand that one) guy went over to speak to them.

As I drew nearer I could hear their very distinct New York accent! I asked where they were from and they replied NYC!!!!

I asked why they had Canadian flags on their backpacks and they told me that since they had sewn them on people were nicer to them!

I could go for Tim Horton's coffee right now. I may have to buy the darn machine next time I'm up there.

I was backpacking across Australia a few years ago and something struck me - Canadians are the only people that feel the need to sew a big ass flag on their back packs!!!!!

It's actually a running joke in some hostels down there. I guess we have an identity crisis.
Long story short- The flag dissapeared from my backpack because I didn't wan't to stick out in a crowd.
